At the DEC, Cynthia Nevels, senior partner at Integrality, LLC; Courtney Garza, media development consultant at Dallas Innovates and co-founder of The Harvest Hands; and Keith Thode, lead founder at AdvanceNet, took on the topic of social responsibility and how it pertains to non-profit, as well as for-profit organizations. As social innovators, they shared the stories of how they use their own businesses to do good for the Dallas community.
The takeaway: every company can be socially responsible, whether they are a non-profit or for-profit organization.
