Publically Traded Social Impact: what does it mean for how we do business?
SKS Microfinance, one of the largest microfinance organizations in the world, recently issued an IPO that raised over $350 million. It is important to note that SKS is not the first microlending company to go public, but it is certainly the largest, sending some jolts through the burgeoning field of double/triple bottom-line businesses.

David Lewis -- A Man with a Message
David Lewis was a “man with a message” – a beloved community activist who started a simple, but radical program that revolutionized how we approach recovery and rehabilitation. Co-Founder of Free at Last, David was gunned down in East Palo Alto last month and the cause of this death still remains unknown. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently offered a $50,000 reward for any information leading to a conviction in the case related to his death.
