Granted Thousand Oaks is not really LA, or is it? Anyway, Muhammad Yunus will be in Thousand Oaks on Friday, February 26th at 4pm. Tickets are for sale now at ticketmaster
Here’s the info from Ticketmaster’s website:
Join the CSU Channel Islands community (students, faculty, staff, and administrators) as they welcome Dr. Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient.
What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality? As founder of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and author of Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism, Dr. Yunus has been instrumental in creating a business model that advances economic and social development in the poorest regions of the world. By developing social business in healthcare, education, nutrition, and financial services, which rely on sound business principles rather than philanthropic donations, businesses impact poverty levels in a more sustainable way.
I would suggest to buy the tickets as soon as possible! It’s $20 ($31.75 with all other fees).
