The Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs
The Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs creates a global network where seasoned entrepreneurs share their wisdom, tackle challenges like succession, financial planning, and identity shifts, and support the next generation of change-makers. The Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs is building a supportive global network of social entrepreneurs where hard-won wisdom can be shared with one another and with those following in their footsteps.
It is vital that ‘elders’ in this field share the experience, knowledge and wisdom they have cultivated over the years, as well as gaining support as they move through new stages in their career. The
challenges they face can include succession or transition planning, financial provision for later life, a crisis of identity once they leave their organisation or the potential for mission drift within their organisation.
Our aims are to build a supportive network of social entrepreneurs and change makers across the ecosystem, sharing the wisdom of elder Social Entrepreneurs to benefit each generation to come.
