About this Event

Tackling complex social problems can be challenging and sometimes lonely; especially when we are juggling different stakeholder needs while figuring out how to fund our impact in an efficient and lean way.

Impact Club brings together non-profit leaders, social enterprise founders and allies for a casual evening of connecting and learning to hopefully make it less challenging and less lonely. This month will feature a special guest, Raissa Espiritu, who will share about her experience in the non-profit space as a founder and now a potential funder. Hear more about her story, while sharing your own wins and challenges as we collectively and collaboratively build a better Alberta and beyond.


Agenda:

5:00pm : Doors open, dinner served

5:20pm: Introductions and icebreaker (all attendees will be asked to introduce themselves)

6:00pm: Storytelling with Q&A

6:30pm: Networking

7:00pm: End and Doors Close

--

Impact Club happens one evening a month and encourages folks working to support social change to come with their authentic selves, connect with each other and build a network to support their entrepreneurial journey.

--

The Social Innovation Hub is located on the second floor of the Alastair Ross Technology Centre. Parking is available for $9 a day. The Hub is also about a 10 minute walk from the Brentwood Train Station.
