In 2008 a number of executive education workshops dealing with key elements of philanthropy and social investment will be offered by the Asia-Pacific Centre for Philanthropy and Social Investment at Swinburne. The workshops draw on the Centre's pioneering Masters program and offer a comprehensive overview of the field and rich opportunities for collegial networking. They also include outstanding guest speakers from the philanthropic, corporate and community sectors.
Our first speaker is: Peter Hero, International Social Investment Expert
We are excited that Peter Hero, one of the great international champions of giving and fundraising, has agreed to lead our first workshop for 2008. He will share his techniques for motiving people and organisations, explain Corporate Social Responsibility, discuss international philanthropic trends for application in Australia and provide guidance for social entrepreneurs, based on his success in Silicon Valley.
