🍂 Dear SVN Members and Beloved Community

🍁 The leaves are falling, the gourds are proliferating, and pumpkin spice has officially taken over the world. It's that cozy, generous season of giving, and we hope you're feeling somewhat hopeful and resilient.

We have a kick in our step due to some progressive wins last week in the US election, 7 Million in the streets last month, and we move from vision and gratitude for the opportunity to build this social impact business community in partnership with you.

Sustainability That Stands on a Stage

Proud to share that member Pallavi Pande of DTOCS LLC, an Oregon-based, woman-owned company, is a Finalist in the 22nd The Stevie Awards for Women in Business

Selected from 1,500+ nominations across 48 nations.

** What is SVSN Board Up to Lately? 💼
------------------------------------------------------------

We are refining our Value Proposition - the essence of who we are and why we matter.

This means embracing the challenge of bringing together multiple perspectives on what makes our organization valuable. It's been a rich conversation, and we're getting closer to language that truly represents who we are.

We're in discussions with several potential partners who could expand our impact and reach. And also working on picking dates and location for an in-person conference in 2026

Thank you for building with us.

☎️ We’re Reaching out to YOU! Virtual Coffee Chats ☕️

Members! Keep an eye out for an email from one of us board members.

We care about your organizational needs. We are each trying to reach out personally to each and every SVN member, so all your feedback is included in our plans for the organization. Looking forward to talking with YOU soon!
