Sacred Space: How a benefit corporation is repurposing a church fusing business and community development.
Benefit Corporations (B Corps) are profit-generating companies committed to solving social and environmental problems through commerce. By voluntarily meeting higher standards of transparency, accountability, and performance, certified B Corps offer a compelling alternative to traditional business models and a positive vision for business that creates value for employees, investors, and the communities they call 'home'.
Join Ms. Natalie Voland, McGill BA'95, BSW'99, as she describes her B Corps, Gestion immobilière Quo Vadis, and its design-centred philosophy for real estate development and property management. As a concrete example, she will present how her company is working with community organizations, social enterprises, government, and McGill University to transform l'Église St-Joseph into a hub for social innovation and entrepreneurship within le Quartier de l'innovation, located in the south-west of Montreal.
In recent years many beautiful and historically significant churches have closed their doors due to lack of funds for upkeep. Natalie's B Corps is working with McGill to breathe new life into l'Église St-Joseph by bringing new business ventures into the neighbourhood while maintaining St-Joseph's original purpose as a place for community, education, and collaboration.
No charge but registration is required. Maximum of four tickets.
La SEI est un important véhicule par lequel la Faculté de gestion Desautels intègre de façon plus officielle l'entrepreneuriat social et l'innovation sociale à son enseignement et à ses activités de communication. Il s'agit d'une initiative de l'Institut Marcel Desautels de gestion intégrative.
Dans le cadre des Retrouvailles, tous les diplômés, étudiants, professeurs et membres du personnel sont invités par l'Initiative d'économie sociale à une communication spéciale, présentée par un leader inspirant du domaine de l'économie sociale.
Gratuit, mais inscription requise
