This proposal is about recognizing that entrepreneurship is the force that created the strongest economy in the world and needs champions now. The skills connected to making the "right decisions" for entrepreneurial success can and should be experienced and learned throughout education. It must also be recognized that entrepreneurial skills can be used in any workplace, not just when operating one’s own business. Read the full Press Release... View the Proposal or Power Point...
