  • 1. AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS ARE OUR HEROES!

    NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK - February 18 - 25, 2012

    Just TWO weeks until the 6th Annual Celebration of National Entrepreneurship Week!
    We hope each of you is planning some type of celebration to honor your local community entrepreneurs and/or feature the great entrepreneurship programs underway...and your students of course.

    Here are some easy things you can take on for your celebrations:

    • HOT SHOT ENTREPRENEURS - Do your students know where to get "million-dollar advice"? This year we have introduced an opportunity for entrepreneurship students to post short YouTube interviews with a local entrepreneur on the National Entrepreneurship Week website. After February 13 we will choose the best three student videos to be featured in a national press release during National Entrepreneurship Week. But we will continue to post You Tube videos received from students all year long. What a fabulous resource each of you has to share nationwide! http://www.entre-week.org/video-contest

    • Nominate outstanding local entrepreneurs for the NATIONAL HONOR ROLL to be added to the nominations from 2011. All nominated entrepreneurs will be posted on the website with a user friendly press release for you to download and share with local media. Note that your organization is also featured in the press release. http://www.entre-week.org/honor-roll/?page_id=98

    • Discuss FREE ENTERPRISE - There are some new activities suggested on the National Entrepreneurship Week site that provide background for better understanding of the role of American entrepreneurs. http://www.entre-week.org/new-activities/ideas

    • Finally, for those involved in Career and Technical Education, remember that this is NATIONAL CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION MONTH. We are pleased that National Entrepreneurship Week is recognized by ACTE as the last week of their month. Share the logo that tells others about this great month to celebrate "developing career skills". http://www.entre-week.org/img/ACTE%20-%20NEW.jpg

    REMEMBER to send us copies of all press coverage, pictures, and descriptions of your CELEBRATIONS. We want to post your successes and share them in a newsletter as well.

  • 2. TUNE in this WEDNESDAY for the FIRST E3 WEBINAR - 2012

    Cheryl Peters, director of Generation E Institute in Battle Creek, Michigan will kick off our year of E3 Webinars on Wednesday, February 8, at 4 PM EST. ( 3PM, 2 PM, and 1 PM as you go west.) You can participate live as Cheryl presents ideas for "Designing Interviews to Build Community Youth Connections" based on their program approach.

    You can still RSVP at http://www.entre-ed.com/e3webinars/?cat=3 .

    Or you can even just sign on to the program on Wednesday if there is room. Check the E3 Webinar page for instructions, http://www.entre-ed.org/e3webinars/ and watch for the yearlong schedule of entrepreneurship education leaders who are willing to share their programs with everyone.

  • 3. DREAM BIG ... NURTURE the ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT!

    ATLANTA, GEORGIA is the site for the 30th ANNUAL Entrepreneurship Education FORUM. We have a fantastic Georgia Planning Team that met with us in January to kick off plans for a great professional development conference for 2012. Thanks to great support from Linda Smith, GA Department of Education, and Paul DeLargy of GA REAL.

    Put November 9 - 12, 2012 on your calendar....and start now to think about what great program ideas you have that you wish to share with entrepreneurship educators everywhere. The deadline for proposals is April 15....not as bad as the IRS, is it? Please check out the website and share the information with your networks. Information will be posted later this week. http://www.entre-ed.org/_network/forum.htm

  • 5. CONSORTIUM MEMBERS . . .MAKE IT HAPPEN!

    For over 30 years we have had the opportunity to share great ideas for entrepreneurship education and create new ways to build the field. If this is important to you we ask that you consider becoming a member. Without the membership fees paid annually by our members we could not exist.

    I ask that you consider becoming a member organization...or just an independent member. See details at.... http://www.entre-ed.org/_contact/index.htm

    Many thanks to all of you who are already members and plan to renew for 2012.

    Cheers,
    Cathy
