Global Partnerships is holding its first ever Social Investor Forum in early June, and since many people passionate about microfinance are also passionate about putting their money into initiatives that produce a social as well as economic return, I thought I’d post the event here. For those of you who are in the greater Seattle area, or willing to travel, and interested in social business and investing, I hope you can make it.

Below are further details regarding the event from the Global Partnerships’ website:

WHAT: Global Partnerships Social Investor Forum

WHEN: Tuesday, June 8, 7:30-9:00 a.m. (Registration and breakfast at 7:00 a.m.)

WHERE: Meydenbauer Center, 11100 NE 6th Street, Bellevue, Washington

With $39 million in capital at work, Global Partnerships has a 15-year track record of investing in Latin American microfinance.

Attend our inaugural Social Investor Forum on Tuesday, June 8 and learn about investment opportunities that generate both social and financial returns. Gain a deeper understanding of GP’s investment strategies and partner organizations, and ask questions of President & CEO Rick Beckett and board leadership, including Board President Dean Allen, CEO of the McKinstry Co.

This event is designed primarily for current investors and donors to GP but is open to the public. There is no cost to attend.
