An emerging class of social entrepreneurs and social impact investors across Latin America are driving innovation, growth, and poverty alleviation. These pioneers have brought about huge quality-of-life changes for millions of citizens through innovations ranging from pay-as-you-go solar power to new farming practices. Today, the private sector provides governments with new and innovative policies to reduce poverty and enfranchise millions.

Join the Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and The Huffington Post for an interactive event taking stock of Latin America's social enterprise sector. How can the policy community in both the United States and Latin America serve as a catalyst to grow entrepreneurial models that tackle the region's biggest challenges?
