New Dawn has partnered with the Shannon School of Business Speaker’s Series to bring the founder of the Slow Money movement Woody Tasch.
Slow Money is about bringing people together around a shared vision about what it means to be an investor in the 21st Century. The vision begins in the soil: the soil teaches us that we must put back as much as we take out to ensure long term health and a strong, secure, restorative economy. The vision continues with entrepreneurs as the seeds, and investors as the water.
A key guiding principles of the movement states that “The 20th Century was the era of Buy Low/Sell High and Wealth Now/Philanthropy Later—what one venture capitalist called “the largest legal accumulation of wealth in history.” The 21st Century will be the era of nurture capital, built around principles of carrying capacity, care of the commons, sense of place and nonviolence.
This special edition of IDEAS will also host an array of panelists from the community to ground the discussion locally. For more information, check out slowmoney.org.
