Public Relations Committee: We are constantly looking to add additional social entrepreneurs to profile on our website. We are currently recruiting talented individuals with excellent communication and writing skills to interview and write up profiles of local social entrepreneurs, to develop copy, to research resources to include on the website, and photographers to help us take shots of social entrepreneurs in action. In addition, we are looking for volunteer programmers to help us develop features for our website and will need help creating our media outreach strategy for SENO.

Mentoring, Consulting, and Coaching Program Committee: We are working with the award-winning nonprofit, Echoing Green, to develop a mentoring and coaching program for aspiring and new social entrepreneurs.
