press release The Skoll Foundation and Policy Development Launch Social Sector Policy Online Event Dec. 13 22 November 2004 The current Congressional Hearing on Charity Oversight and Reform presents an historic opportunity to help shape the non-profit sector. But thus far, the Hearing has been driven by several recent scandals, legal loopholes, and a discussion of technical fixes. While we acknowledge the need to constantly increase vigilance, the more fundamental issues are not being addressed. The objective of this unique one-week online event is to start a national conversation about how public policy can evolve to support a vibrant, sophisticated, and innovative social sector, and to identify some of the current systemic obstacles that innovators face. The event will begin with the question: "What is 'the non-profit sector' today, and how well do policy and regulatory regimes reflect that reality?" The discussion will be kicked off by several prominent and thoughtful non-profit sector leaders, and everyone is encouraged to jump in. A dedicated link will be circulated as the date approaches, but it can also be accessed through Skoll's "Social Edge" home page (http://skoll.socialedge.org). |
