A true entrepreneur, Seth Goldman was thirsty for a healthier drink and social change. Eleven years ago he launched Honest Tea, which has become the top selling organic ready-to-drink tea in the nation.
Now in its fourth year, The Social Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century Speaker Series features a remarkable selection of social entrepreneurs and related leaders who have launched extraordinary programs, companies and movements addressing the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. Reflecting the NYU Reynolds Programs belief that social entrepreneurship is a meta-profession drawing on cross-disciplinary knowledge and practice, the series presents prominent social entrepreneurs and leaders from across the spectrum of public and professional sectors who will share their insights as cutting-edge, far reaching change makers.
Other speakers this year will include Investors Circle Chairman and Slow Money Chairman and President Woody Tasch, Former U.S. Ambassador and Current President and CEO of Population Services International Karl Hofmann, and George Foundation Founder Dr. Abraham George. Additional speakers will be scheduled throughout the academic year.
A question and answer session will follow Goldmans talk. All are welcome, but space is limited. To RSVP, please click here. Media coverage is invited.
