Dear Grace Naledi Mandisa Pandor

Gwenda has sent you the following message via People's Assembly (https://www.pa.org.za/)


Dear Mrs Pandor

The Nation Builder team has been greatly inspired by your long-
standing service in the South African parliament, as well as the
success of the various departments that you have lead. We would be
honoured if you would consider being a speaker at out 4th annual
In Good Company Conference on the morning of 21 August in
Pretoria.

Nation Builder is a platform that encourages and enables
businesses to maximise their social impact by supplying them with
expert resources, and connecting them to like-minded partners. We
believe that business holds a significant piece of the puzzle when
it comes to social upliftment, and we encourage them to partner
with government and NPOs for greatest effect. (see
www.proudnationbuilder.co.za)

The theme for our 2018 conference is “South Africa Matters”, with
a focus on socially innovative business ideas that have come out
of our country. We believe that enterprise brings about increased
economic activity and opportunity. It plays a pivotal role in
breaking the cycles of societal ills that many people face daily.
The fourth annual In Good Company 2018 will highlight local social
innovation solutions and fuel new, creative ways of doing
business. It will bring together businesses of varying sizes that
are committed to leading social change in South Africa through
social investment. We will explore homegrown ideas that solve
local challenges in creative and sustainable ways.

We would be honoured if you would share your insights on how you
believe innovation should affect education in our country, and
help businesses see how they can partner with government to
bolster the progress of education in our country. We would
allocate 30 - 40 minutes to your talk, and would appreciate if you
would consider the option of a short, facilitated Q & A time at
the end of your talk.

Our audience consists of roughly 200 people, mostly business
leaders and owners, that want to use their business as a force for
good and to expand horizons of opportunity in South Africa.

The conference is held at the Atterbury theatre in “The Bridge”
centre in Lynnwood. The theatre will be set up with an AV system
and projector, should you wish to use slides, pictures or videos.

Best Regards
