    FOR A GREAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE
    WITH ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION!
    www.entre-ed.org/_network/forum.htm

    Focus of the annual national conference is on building entrepreneurial skills
    as a lifelong learning process as well as the diversity of exciting entrepreneurs in the area.

    See the proposal format here. Revised deadline - April 30, 2009,

    Send your proposal to be one of 64 individual current sessions or one of 25 roundtable presenters. Tell us what you are doing to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in America.

    The conference will focus on potential entrepreneurs of all ages and the role that entrepreneurship education and training plays in preparing them to create and operate successful business enterprises. Come to share your innovative entrepreneurship programs, ideas, techniques, and products with colleagues nationwide. If you are an outstanding education or service provider (and we know you are), and provide an entrepreneurship program in K-12, community college, four-year college or university, adult education, or community-based organizations we encourage you to submit a proposal.

    NOTE: The deadline for proposals has been extended to April 30, 2009.
    After that time we will continue to accept additional proposals for a waiting list. Often presenters have to change their plans by the time the fall arrives.

  • 3. Help Us Promote SUMMER ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAMPS!

    Send us a Short Promotional Message about entrepreneurship camps for youth to help us promote all of the opportunities across the US.

    "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." With summer jobs for youths plummeting, and summer job searches on the rise, there is this great thing called OPPORTUNITY among us. There is opportunity to learn how to fish, how to earn money, through business creation, and build necessary workforce and life skills. When summer jobs are not available and even when they are, our youth should be prepared with entrepreneurial attitude, skills and knowledge to create their own business.
