In Sunday’s Boston Globe, director of the Institute of Contemporary Art Jill Medvedow wrote an op-ed entitled "Harnessing our innovative ideas" which spotlights our Advancing Social Entrepreneurship report.  She congratulates Governor Deval Patrick on his recent appointment of a creative economy director and calls for a long-term investment strategy and the development of a $1 billion social impact fund (see Public Innovators’ related recommendations for a public-private social innovation fund and a National Social Innovation Foundation).  In line with our own findings in Advancing Social Entrepreneurship, Medvedow argues that Massachusetts has “the opportunity to lead with ideas, innovation, and investment, and replicate the strategies that so successfully fostered American entrepreneurialism.”
