Carole King’s song “You’ve got a friend” beautifully epitomises the care and support that we as social entrepreneurs need while we look at the best way to celebrate our eldership in our succession and our leadership.

It's time to reevaluate how we view eldership. This article is based on a conversation between the Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs and Kathryn Hall-Trujillo and Hae-Young Lee.
