State Leadership Teams ________________National Entrepreneurship Week - 2008
To celebrate National Entrepreneurship Week - 2008 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.
