DCVB doesn’t have an annual meeting per se. Instead, we produce the Durham Annual Tribute Luncheon.
The next one, April 29th, will be unique because it will be held on the stage of the new Durham Performing Arts Center. Each year the ATL honors individuals or groups that significantly contribute to shaping Durham’s unique brand and sense of place.
Durham is a caring community and one aspect of the brand has
been shaped by innovative groups or organizations that have used earned income to forward social purposes. They are non-profits often categorized as social enterprise or social capitalists. The honorees on April 29, listed below, are emblematic of many others and have earned national reputations both for social enterprise and for Durham:
Eno River Association
TROSA
Self Help
SEEDS
Latino Community Credit Union
UDI
Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership
SFJ Ventures

Mr Bowman, no disrespect to you or DCVB but while the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership and SFJ Ventures are worthy organizations they are not really social enterprises by most commonly used definitions. SJF Ventures is structured as a ten-year limited partnership (with an associated nonprofit consulting arm) and the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership is part of Duke University. I would be happy to discuss this topic with you at your convenience.

Thanks Al. It is the SJF non-profit being recognized. Be glad to talk with you about this and get more background. The Duke University program is related because they are building and seling but you're correct, not pure by definition.
