As part of Dominican University’s Center for Global Peace through Commerce: Social Enterprise Series, Jim Slama, founder and president of FamilyFarmed.org will speak on “Social Entrepreneurship in the Food Industry: Lessons from America and Brazil” with special guests Marcos Croce and Silvia Barretto.  The 50 minute presentation and following Q&A session will discuss how jobs and commerce can transform lives, how the speakers came to the decision to make the world a better place and how students can follow in their footsteps.

Kathleen Houlihan, Director of the Center for Global Peace through Commerce hopes this forum encourages important discussions regarding business and the opportunity to better the world.   She hopes that members of the Oak Park and Dominican University community, students from the Corporate Social responsibility graduate level and notable “green” persons of interest will learn more about global social issues and how businesses can provide solutions.
