Social Enterprise Chicago is a convener, a collaborator, and a catalyst. Its mission is to help drive positive social change through market-based strategies.

Social Enterprise Chicago is excited to announce its second event— a fireside chat with the Obama Foundation’s Executive Vice President of External Affairs Michael Strautmanis and Attorney and Author Marc J. Lane. Join us in-person or virtually on March 16th as we network and explore important topics including:

• How has President Obama’s approach to civic and social change as a community organizer informed the Obama Foundation’s decisions?
• How is the Foundation helping young people stay on track through the power of mentorship?
• How is the Foundation’s commitment to a diverse talent pipeline in the construction of the Obama Presidential Center already impacting future projects throughout the city?
• What’s the best way for us to align the interests of all the stakeholders who are necessary or desirable to give our mission-driven ventures everything they need to flourish?

Celebrate the growth, success, and future of the social enterprise community in the Chicago area.

There will be an open bar and hors d’oeuvres for those attending this event in person. Virtual tickets are also available, and you will have the opportunity to network with others on Slack. The event will also be live streamed.
