  • 2. FORUM CALL FOR PROGRAMS - Deadline extended to April 30


    Recognizing that this is a very busy season and November isn't exactly on your top priority list, we have extended the deadline for you to submit a proposal for the FORUM in Columbus, Ohio. If you have a great approach to teaching entrepreneurship at any level of education, K-16 and adult, please plan to share it with your peers from all over the US. The Call for Programs is on our website providing instructions for a very simple proposal format.... http://www.entre-ed.org/_network/forum.htm

    DEADLINE IS APRIL 30. Our goal is to be able to publish the final program in May before many of you go on summer vacation.

  • 3. VOTE for the Free Enterprise Video Contest Winner


    The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's American Free Enterprise. Dream Big. campaign launched the "I am Free Enterprise" video contest in late January -- a fantastic opportunity for budding or already established entrepreneurs to win $100,000 in cash prizes!

    The submission deadline for the contest was Friday, April 9 at 6 pm EDT. To date, they have received more than 100 entries. Next up is the contest viewing blitz, which will run from April 9 - April 16. They want to level the playing field and give each entrant an opportunity to promote his or her video to drive the number of views. Viewership is critical - in order to be considered for round two, a video must be one of the top 25 most viewed videos.

    Spread the word by promoting this link to the video contest's You Tube Channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/Freeenterprise#p/c/A2CDED254F...

    Stay tuned for more information on the video contest. For more information on the Campaign for Free Enterprise, please visit the Chamber Web site.... http://www.freeenterprise.com/

  • 6. SOMETHING TO SHARE: The Ten "Cannots" of Political Economy


    • You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
    • You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
    • You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
    • You cannot help the wage-earner by tearing down the wage-payer.
    • You cannot further the brotherhood of mankind by encouraging class hatred.
    • You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
    • You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
    • You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
    • You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative.
    • You cannot help man permanently by doing for them what they could do and should do for themselves.

    This quote has been attributed to William Boetcker , (1873-1962) German-born Presbyterian clergyman

    Share Your Great Ideas with ALL Entrepreneurship Educators Here....
