Robert Egger’s been called a Knight of Social Enterprise - but to understand this, you probably need to understand exactly what social enterprise is. This idea is the topic of reSET’s Beyond Business as Usual Conference this Wednesday, October 5 at the Hartford Club. The whole “.org” thing is something Egger’s trying to change - this idea that business acts like business and nonprofits act like charity. Robert Egger is President, DC Central Kitchen and author of Begging for Change: The Dollars and Sense of Making Nonprofits Responsive, Efficient and Rewarding For All.
