Was talking with one of my colleagues here in Austin and we agreed that a real focus on social returns was a missing part of the discussion at SoCap; was referred to frequently, but usually as "we don't do actually measure the social impact; we partner with XX who does that." Unfortunately XX was never a presenter. I think that's a big hurdle we need to get over as a field in order to move to stage two. Thoughts? Aneesa,

I think that’s a big hurdle we need to get over as a field in order to move to stage two.

Thoughts?
