National Entrepreneurship Week Kicks Off
The second annual National Entrepreneurship Week will take place Feb. 23 – March 1.
In 2006, Congress designated the last week in February to be used to recognize America’s entrepreneurs.
This year, organizations across the country are taking time during this week to appreciate the outstanding contributions made by entrepreneurs to our country and economy.
“Entrepreneurs bring new, innovative ideas into the marketplace. Their efforts continue to create jobs and fuel economic growth. In order for others to continue to take risks by trying their luck at a new business, it’s important that we applaud entrepreneurs for their achievements and encourage America’s youth to pursue their own entrepreneurial endeavors.
Observing National Entrepreneurship Week is an excellent opportunity for the country to do just that,” said Todd Stottlemyer, president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business.
To launch National Entrepreneurship Week 2008, a coalition of entrepreneurship supporters, led by the Small Business Administration, are bringing the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour to George Washington University and Howard University on Feb. 25.
The Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour will bring successful young entrepreneurs, all in their 20s, to these campuses so that they can share their stories with other college students.
