Kristen von Hoffmann to present at Women In Leadership Conference @ Yale Law School
Kristen von Hoffmann, founder of Greenfox Schools, has been invited to present again at this year’s Women in Leadership Conference hosted by the Yale Women's Leadership Initiative. The conference will be held at Yale Law School on Saturday, November 12th, 2010, from 10am-6pm.

Kristen’s workshop is entitled “Business for Good: How to be a Successful Social Entrepreneur,” and will engage young women who are interested in becoming social business leaders. Kristen talks about being a teacher, and the way children have been her inspiration for making widespread positive change. Over the summer, Kristen traveled around the United States for 6 weeks learning about how other people live, documenting the Gulf Coast oil spill, and partaking in various sustainability initiatives.

Of her experience Kristen said, "I set out hoping to affirm a belief I have that all people are basically good and want the best for each other. This belief was affirmed in the communities I visited and the people I met. There is a sense of interconnectedness, a feeling of universality, that I have found cuts through all barriers of geography, race, religion, and socio-economics, a feeling that is at the core of our human race: a desire to help ourselves and help others. I believe this feeling of universality is also at the core of sustainability, which rests on the imperative that we must preserve the planet for ourselves and for future generations.”
