Looking for the latest information in the social enterprise sector?

Program Chair Yvonne Chenier QC of Calgary’s Drache Apowtizer LLP specializes in charities, not-for-profits and social enterprises. For the past 30 years, while building a private law practice and working as a financial consultant and advisor to high net worth, aboriginal and not-for profit clients, she has also lent her expertise to a small privately owned trust company and a large Canadian financial institution. Her articles have been published in numerous publications including Canadian Taxpayer, the Not-for-Profit News, Charity Talk, Tax Times, Taxnet Pro, Canadian Fundraising & Philanthropy and Hilborn Charity eNEWS.
In addition to Yvonne’s expertise, a panel of 10 experts will provide the latest information on everything from advising the social enterprise to the new Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act to the impact of the privacy and anti-spam legislation on the operation of registered charities and not-for-profit organizations.
