Join SF Works for the first of our 2008 Business Innovation Conversations. Moderated by Mal Warwick (Mal Warwick Associates), entrepreneur, author and promoter of socially- and environmentally-responsible business, the “Values-Driven Business” panel will discuss ideas that highlight how values incorporation are a central component of a business plan. The panel will feature San Francisco’s own:
- Method Products Inc. CFO, Andrea Freedman, who will discuss how the company’s internal practices around the collaboration of hip, clean and conscious created a home products business that has been doubling annually in size and revenue
- Wild Planet Toys COO, Jennifer Chapman, who will share innovations such as the “Inventor Invasion” program, pairing employees with kids from low-income after-school programs to help children develop their creativity through toy invention, and
- New Resource Bank founder and Vice Chairman, Peter Liu, who will discuss how bank employees are encouraged to “re-purpose” their careers, and how granting low-interest loans to green builders has garnered this community bank assets of $60M after just 6 months in operation.
5:30-6:30 pm registration & cocktail reception; 6:30-8 pm program, Q&A.
Cost is $25 for Chamber of Commerce, Net Impact & SVN members; $35 for nonmembers and at door (all major credit cards accepted). For questions or more information contact Allison DeLise at (415) 217-5181 or adelise(at)sfworks(dot)org. Register online now.
