ReVisioning Value Conference 2010
Gerding Theater
How do we get the needed resources and talent for solving our most challenging problems? Government, traditional business, and charities can't do it all. This crossroads is an opportunity. The keynote will be Dan Pallotta, author of Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential. Meet pioneers Tamzin Ractliffe, founder of SASIX, and Alex Counts, President of Grameen Foundation, and Don Shaffer, President and CEO of RSF Social Finance as they convene in Portland, Oregon to talk with you. What they're proposing will change the world, and change your mind.
