  • 4. NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK...providing PR YearRound

    As we celebrate the great events held February 21 - 28, 2009 during the 3rd Annual National Entrepreneurship Week we want to remind you that we seek to promote the challenging events and activities of your entrepreneurship programs year round on our special website... http://www.nationaleweek.org .

    No longer can entrepreneurship education be "the best kept secret" in our schools. As educators around the world learn more and more about creating jobs through entrepreneurship it is ever more critical that we remember to encourage "wealth producing" opportunities at home. The entrepreneurs of tomorrow are in our schools today!

    Save the dates February 20 - 27, 2010, and start planning now for National Entrepreneurship Week 2010.

    LET US HEAR FROM YOU!
