The Awards Ceremony
Filed Under:
This is what Skoll means when they say "Celebrate!"
The big celebration was also in the Sheldonian: the 2007 Awards for Social Entrepreneurship. And it was exciting!
Below, I have picked a few select photos: the rest are on my Flickr page.
Salman Ahmed got the crowd pumping as before, and then we met our four rockstar presenters (well, at least one is literally a rock star, and the other three have a pretty good claim to the status): Jeff Skoll, Peter Gabriel, Sally Osberg and Muhammad Yunus.
The ten new Skoll award winners got their moment in the sun (well, the klieg lights). For social entrepreneurs (except Jeff) this is the Academy Awards, and the smiles were beaming. I picked Dan Viederman of Verite out as a good example. Do you have any doubt we are looking at a guy who has slogged through a lot of tough stuff and is celebrating the moment with zeal?

Thank you....
for the flickr slides. I made it to the Skoll Forum only to get sick. After the opening talk I stayed in bed the rest of the conference. So thank you for letting me participate virtually. I especially loved seeing photos of my friend Karen. She's stunningly beautiful!
I was walking on California Avenue and came across your Benetech sign. Would you give me a call when you get a chance 650-714-3478? I meant to catch you at the SE-Alliance and missed that too. :(
So maybe we can get together for coffee and you can debrief me on what I missed?
