Beth Palm is the new Director of Social Enterprise for EMERGE, a nonprofit community development organization in Minneapolis. Many nonprofits have been exploring social enterprise as a way to supplement revenue and meet new mission goals, and EMERGE has also added entrepreneurship as a new component to employment development and mission work.
Beth and host Steve Boland talk about the barriers to entrepreneurship as a means of self-sufficiency, leveraging partner organizations in this work, and expanding services through program acquisition. More information about social enterprise is available from the Social Enterprise Alliance.
