New U.S.-Saudi Women's Forum on Social Entrepreneurship

Coming soon … leaders from four institutions will present the second of three modules to 30 undergraduate women from Saudi Arabia.

The Center for Women’s Leadership at Babson and The Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College have partnered with two renowned global organizations — Dar Al Hekma College, Saudi Arabia, and ICF International — to deliver The U.S.-Saudi Women’s Forum on Social Entrepreneurship July 13-24, 2009 at Babson College.

Leaders from all four institutions will present the second of three modules to 30 undergraduate women from Saudi Arabia. Module I launched earlier this year in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Faculty from the partnering institutions will work with students to refine the skills they need to create real plans for entrepreneurial ventures, including how to navigate the challenges of designing and delivering social entrepreneurship programs, enhancing leadership skills, and cultivating the creative processes necessary for success.

In addition, several successful female entrepreneurs with ventures in corporate social responsibility, traditional not-for-profits, and social entrepreneurship, will share their experiences during the program’s speaker series component. Module III will be held at Dar Al Hekma College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in December 2009/January 2010.
