March 13, 2012: Youth unemployment spawns panel on success tips from young entrepreneurs

Tuesday, March 13, 1-3 p.m.
Gorsuch Commons, Room 107

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is hosting a panel of young entrepreneurs moderated by SBA assistant associate administrator Calvin Goings. The panel of young business leaders will share their personal stories, business tips and lessons learned during an interactive session.

With youth unemployment twice the national average in many communities, SBA recognizes a need to promote and better support the efforts of young people looking to create jobs for themselves and others. Young entrepreneurs are a dynamic resource for our national recovery and growth.

This event is intended to:

• Bring together leading young entrepreneurs, youth advocacy organizations and government experts to listen, address critical challenges and formulate public policy measures needed to move the young entrepreneur's business agenda to the next level;
• Connect young entrepreneurs to each other, the federal government and other economic development resources;
• Engage young people to discuss entrepreneurship; and,
• Highlight the accomplishments of young entrepreneurs.

Attendance is limited. R.S.V.P. by March 12 to(907) 271-4022. This event is co-sponsored by the SBA and UA Center for Economic Development.
