Lunch and Learn: Defy Ventures

One of the biggest requests I've received from the ladies in Ladies Who Launch, is that you love to learn about nonprofits around the community.

This Lunch and Learn we're learning all about Defy Ventures.

Defy Ventures is a non-profit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of business leaders and people with criminal histories through their collaboration along the entrepreneurial journey.

Jasmine Harris, Program Manager with Defy Ventures Nebraska, will speak about the importance of second chances, redemptive entrepreneurship, and how Defy Ventures Nebraska is playing a role in helping to reduce mass incarceration in the state and provide assistance an people return home after incarceration.

Our meeting will be held in Room 201 in the Community Engagement Center at UNO. There will be little signs pointing you in the direction of the room.

You will get free parking in Lot E. Tell the attendant you are there for Ladies Who Launch.

If you’re heading east on Dodge, turn right on 67th street into UNO, take an immediate left on University Drive North, and follow that road to Lot E to park.

If you're heading west on Dodge, you'll take a right on 66th street (you might recall it's like a weird light that you veer into so you can cut across Dodge) you'll take an immediate right onto University Drive North until you get to Parking Lot E.

Look for the clock tower, that's where you'll park!

Note: Parking in Lot E is first come, first serve. If the lot fills up you will have to park in a lot that is further away. I can not control when the parking lot fills up :)

This event is FREE, lunch will NOT be provided. Please bring your own lunch.
