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.
