Social Entrepreneurship Luncheon Comes to Houston
Share. Learn. Grow. Expand Your Business. Add to Your Dream Team. Make a Difference.
Powerful Women International’s Houston-Connection will hold an inspiring and relevant luncheon on “Social Entrepreneurship” on April 17, 2009 at The Briar Club, 2603 Timmons, Houston, Tx. The luncheon will provide excellent networking for women who are business owners, who run non-profits, and who are socially conscious business professionals.
Hopefully, everyone falls in at least one of these categories because now more than ever we need solutions to society’s most pressing social issues for eliminating poverty, hunger and the myriad of social ills that plague our planet. One country’s problems becomes another country’s problems as we are intricately linked to each other in some way.
Fortunately, social entrepreneurship has taken a front seat in today’s world as more and more people and their companies are taking on social change for the greater good. One such business owner is Barbara Spier, President and sole owner of U.S. Protection & Investigation Services. Barbara’s firm specializes in security detail to international corporations in the middle east and worldwide.
Barbara saw a need to help Afghan women who had become widows and with the help of three other Houston business owners, started the Helping Afghan Women Project. Barbara will be the keynote speaker and will share how she started HAWP, how it is run, and what it needs.
To illustrate what HAWP needs, Barbara will share, for example, how she has arranged to use international shipping containers to ship items to Afghanistan. Attendees for the luncheon are encouraged to bring the following items: stuffed animals, children’s clothes, women’s clothes, and any item a women, mother or child might need – anything.
Everyone has a “social entrepreneur” inside of them. PWI was formed to “Empower Women to Empower the World.” This luncheon will demonstrate how the vision of one person can affect social change for the greater good and how you can be a part of it, expand your business in the process with powerful networking and expand your dream team for your vision for a better world.
