Intro to Social Impact Models: For-profits, non-profits, and everything in between

Net Impact McCombs (https://www.netimpact.org/chapters/university-of-texas-at-austin-mccombs-school-of-business-graduate) and Impact Haven (http://www.impacthaven.com) are partnering to bring you a diverse panel presentation on the different ways to structure impact-focused organizations. At this informal event we’ll be keeping it real and learning from experts as they delve into the variety of options for social impact professionals. Should your organization be a non-profit or a for-profit? What about a B-Corp or a Public Benefit Corp? And what is a “social enterprise” after all? Our diverse panel will present their perspectives and field questions from the audience in this interactive session.

Kristin Scheel
Business Transactions Attorney + Sustainability, Scheel Legal Social impact legal expert

Michael Willard
Former CEO of Austin Habitat for HumanityNonprofit veteran

Dawn Perkins Small business advocate

• Anyone who want to work in the impact space or is interested in learning about the landscape
