A 'Fire-side' with David Bussau AM.
 Brought to you by the Australian Institute of Management (AIM).
Kick off 2010 with the inspirational story behind one of Australia's best known philanthropists and entrepreneurs.
David Bussau AM is the co-founder of Opportunity International (OI), an organisation that provides small loans to budding entrepreneurs in 27 developing countries, empowering them to start or expand their own small businesses. David has been hailed for his innovative approach to solving world poverty. He challenged the conventional wealth redistribution model of development by pioneering a unique process known as micro enterprise development (MED), addressing the root causes of poverty through responsible wealth creation.
Opportunity International Australia currently focuses its work in three countries – India, Indonesia and the Philippines, serving close to 1.4 million people with microfinance and community development programs. Over one million loans have been distributed since the company began nearly 30 years ago. David was awarded the Order of Australia for services to International Development in 2001 and named Senior Australian of the Year 2008. This event is your opportunity to share in the entrepreneurial lessons David has learnt along his journey. David has a remarkable story and this is an event not to be missed, incorporating the launch of the 2010 Sunshine Coast Management Excellence Awards.
Entreprenet is proud to support this event.
