Please join YWSE on April 6, 2010, for a talk with Cindy Cooper, co-founder and director of PSU’s Social Innovation Incubator and co-founder of the award winning Speak Shop.

Cindy is currently teaching social entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship at PSU, and we imagine that it is not too hard for her to find real-life examples to illustrate her course materials: With Speak Shop, she has taken a social venture from concept to market.
