DREAM - BELIEVE - PURSUE

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
" Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing."
John D. Rockefeller


This exciting group is a strategic collaboration between the Iowa Entrepreneurs' Coalition (Advocacy) and the New Iowa Entrepreneurial Center (Education and Networking). Through this group you will be linked to public and private sector resources designed to assist small business growth. You will also establish your personal network of local entrepreneurs and share tips and problem solving techniques, get advice on profitability and career and discuss mentoring and business models. Each meeting will include an educational opportunity as well as the networking component when you can swap business cards and watch your personal business directory grow! So if you are a small business owner, an entrepreneur or a business or organization with a mission to support small business growth, you are invited to become a member of this meet-up group. Welcome Aboard!
