We are pleased to announce a special opportunity for our members who have an interest in Social Entrepreneurship. In fall 2012 USASBE launched its first ever certificate in Social Entrepreneurship in collaboration with New York University, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and the University of North Texas. There are eight modules (workshops) that are required for completion of the certificate. The modules will be offered at the UMKC Midwest Symposium on Social Entrepreneurship May 20-21, 2013, 10th Annual NYU-STERN Conference on Social Entrepreneurship in November, and at the USASBE 2014 conference in January. Each module is approximately 4 hours in length covering the following topics listed below.
