Oi gente,
Tudo bom?! I just joined the Acumen community and was excited to see that a few people are already connected here in Brazil. Can you share any references on local networks or groups that are thought-leaders in social investing? For examp…
If you are Brazilian, lives in Brazil or just like the country, please join. Even if we don't have a chapter, we should learn from Acumen's experience and help make Brazil a better place to live.

Wendy Jo Wallace said… - Hi Peter! I just wanted to welcome you to the Acumen Community. I'm a former Air Force Officer turned management consultant and now trying to find my place to hammer on the poverty chains...or use whatever tools I have in my toolkit to do it if the hammer doesn't fit. I have an interest in the back of my head in connecting former military now doing development work...not going to pursue it yet, but I'll let you know when I do if you're interested. Take care & welcome again. wendy

Best,
Lia

- Hi Peter, welcome to the Community. That's quite an impressive background you have! It'd be great to understand a little more about what you'd like to get out of the Community - are you in a position to offer corporate sponsorship? How did you hear about Acumen Fund?
