"I'd say that the Entrepreneurs Only Workshops are fast way to come up to speed on key business topics. The lunch and learn environment really makes it easy to quickly absorb a lot of information and then be able to ask questions of the people who are THE experts in the field." - Adam Bianchi, Chief Operating Officer, Cutting Edge Information"I find that these session rejuvenate me and rekindle the excitement that made we want to be an entrepreneur in the first place. Everyone is going to need some moral support and motivation along the way and these sessions not only provide that, they throw in networking and good, experience-based, practical education plus food. How can you beat that?" - Jack Huisman, Jr., Director of Business Development, Omnicomm Systems, Inc.
"It is useful to hear the questions and comments from others for it makes me plan ahead and realize that others are wondering about the same questions as me. It makes me feel like the state and the local community care about me as an entrepreneur and the success of my firm. It makes being an entrepreneur a little more social when I know that there are others in the same boat." - Nancy Shepherd, Shepherd Research, LLC
