Innovative Thinkers
I was lucky enough to hear Dan Pallotta speak in San Francisco at the World Social Enterprise Forum a couple of years ago.
Dan is an expert in nonprofit sector innovation and a pioneering social entrepreneur. He is the founder of Pallotta TeamWorks, which invented the multiday AIDSRides and Breast Cancer 3-Days. He is the president of Advertising for Humanity and the author of Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential.
His recent article You Don't Need a PhD to Innovate is interesting and reminds us that the lightbulb moment can happen at anytime and for anyone.

Creative Social Enterprises
Tasmanian Regional Arts is continuing to work in the area of social enterprise and look for new opportunities to build greater capacity throughout the regional arts community.
It has been a busy few months with the establishment of the Tasmanian Social Enterprise Network (TSEN) and involvement in workshops delivered by Social Traders. We have continued to connect with creative organisations interested in setting themselves up as social enterprises while exploring the opportunities for TRA to develop programs that can respond to the changing needs of regional artists and arts organisations.
We are heading up the TSEN team that is Raising Awareness of Social Enterprise with the aim of improving understanding, knowledge and access to resources to support the establishment and management of creative social enterprises.
TRA was proud to support the recent publication Tasmanian Social Enterprises; Capturing their Stories. This was an opportunity for social enterprises to tell their own story and included 3 creative social enterprises; Gone Rustic, Tin Shed Pottery and the Salamanca Arts Centre. But we know that there are many many more out there.
Social Traders recently provided a workshop on The Crunch, a fantastic program that provides $10 000 for new social enterprises. Social Traders is a Melbourne based organisation that works primarily within Victoria, but we have been keen to see the Crunch offered in Tasmania. Thanks to the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and the Arts one Tasmanian social enterprise will have the opportunity to be involved in this program. For more details go to the Social Traders website.
We are finalising a report about Creative Social Enterprises based on our work over the last 3 years and hope to release this in the next few weeks.
