SECNA Meetup #8: Leaving your social enterprise (intact)

About this event

We are going to explore leaving, exiting, walking away from social enterprises which isnt ever easy. You have put so much time in, achieved many great things, how do you do that. Is it time to move on, is it not working, do you have other things you want to do, do you need a break, will it be safe in someone else's hands even though I started it? Its a topic that is relevant to us all in the social enterprise space, whether its something we are thinking about now or maybe into the future.

Come along to our June 1 meetup and here from some great speakers who will help us unpick this important topic and also ask any relevant questions you might have as we know this is important for the social enterprise space.

Our meetups are about having fun and enjoying each other’s company while sharing and learning from each other. We start with about 45 minutes of networking before getting into the content. It's a way to make new friends, stay connected with old friends, and the focus is on bringing the community and ecosystem together.

We also want social enterprises attending to share some exciting things happening in your organisations this year and in particular discuss how we can help you achieve these great things.

The event starts at 6.00pm in person at Canva in Surry Hills and includes drinks and snacks. We welcome people to join us online and that will kick start at 6.45pm.

Speakers
We have some exciting speakers currently being lined up to really help you around the area of grants which as we all know is so relevant to everyone in the social enterprise sector.

About SECNA Meetups
SECNA’s purpose is to nurture a healthy and connected social enterprise sector in NSW and the ACT… and beyond, including everyone in and around the ecosystem.

A connected and engaged social enterprise community is key to increasing awareness, understanding, and advocacy - while building strong partnerships and collaboration. This will help us progress to our shared vision of a world where we collaborate to ensure all people, places, and our planet thrive.

That’s what SECNA Meetups are all about. A regular way for us to meet, make new friends, stay connected with old friends, and bring the community and ecosystem together. Having fun and enjoying each other’s company while sharing and learning from each other. Exchanging ideas, celebrating the wins, and learning from the fails. In the spirit of collaboration.

Our meetups aren’t just for current SECNA members. We welcome everyone in and around the social enterprise ecosystem… and even those who are just curious to see what it’s all about. We come together valuing and including our diversity.

We meet on the first Thursday of the month and the focus is on convening and holding space for connection in a fun and friendly way. We also have talks, panels, and interactive sessions on a range of topics related to social enterprise. Most of our meetups are hybrid and provide connection beyond Sydney and Canberra to other metro, rural, and regional locations across NSW and the ACT.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re keen to speak, there’s a topic you’d like covered, or if there’s someone you’d like to hear from. There are also sponsor/partnership opportunities available.

Thanks!
