As countries around the world undergo rapid change, new types of groups, networks, and organizations are springing up to defend, advance, and sustain open societies. In the midst of these transformations, working with new—and more established—entities to become more effective can be daunting. What factors can you look for to predict success? How can you best help groups achieve greatest effectiveness? What are some creative approaches to building revenue streams? In her new book, Social Startup Success, Kathleen Kelly Janus examines these questions and many more.
Please join Open Society Foundations to discuss Janus’s new book—and what she has learned about the development of, and support for, effective organizations around the world.
