Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.

Right now I'm working on three model cars:
The Rietze VW T5 on the right is nearly finished.
The model in the middle formerly was a Arizona HP Ford Crown '97 produced by Busch.
I removed the graphics, affixed the Alamogordo decals and woorked out some details like the window frames.
But as you can see, it's not finished yet...
The last model car features a VW Amarok by Wiking.
The Maricopa County Sheriff doesn't operate such a car in reality, though, I thought it would be interesting to see how it looked like.
I'll upload more pics of each model when they're finished!
