Dreams & Disasters: The Adara Story
 
Dreams & Disasters: The Adara story
Wednesday 15 June 2016, 10am - 1pm
Spark, 167 Victoria St West, Auckland
After 18 years of connecting the worlds of business and finance with the world of extreme poverty Audette Exel has many stories to share.
 
Through the joys and challenges, mistakes and learnings, the Kiwi-born entrepreneur has led a unique business for purpose that now reaches more than 50,000 women and children living in poverty each and every year.

Audette will share learnings and practical examples from her journey with the Adara Group to show her pioneering approach to effective giving.  There will be a Q&A session following Audette's address.

Audette, whose career has included working as a corporate lawyer in Hong Kong and a stint leading the Bermuda Commercial Bank, was a keynote speaker at last year’s Philanthropy Summit in Auckland.

This event will give those of you who missed her inspirational address a chance to find out what makes Audette tick. And even if you did catch up with her at the Summit, don’t worry – Audette says she will be covering very different material this time around!

Join us at 9:30am for coffee and stay for a networking lunch at midday.
COST: $99 members / $150 non-members (prices exclude GST)
