State Leadership Teams ________________EntrepreneurshipWeek
USA
To celebrate EntrepreneurshipWeek USA we are asking each state to organize a committee to gather information on all the programs available in your state and their contact information. This will be a great resource for media contacts and promotion of The Week as well as a foundation for a State-based website to assist those who want to learn more about entrepreneurship.
If you are willing to be part of your State Leadership Team please contact the state representative listed below, or contact us to help get a state team formed. To report the activities of your State Leadership Team please complete this form .
