The Entrepreneurs’ Organization is proud to be a Global Partner of The Kauffman Foundation’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, held 17-23 November 2008. Countries all around the world are joining together to carry the banner of Global Entrepreneurship Week, an initiative aimed at young, aspiring entrepreneurs everywhere.

During the Week, partner organizations will conduct a wide range of activities—from simple speeches to comprehensive competitions—designed to inspire, connect, inform, mentor and engage the next generation of entrepreneurs. EO will assist in these endeavors by promoting the significance of the program and encouraging chapters to get involved.

As you lead your chapter into the new fiscal year, take a moment to consider what you and your chapter can do to elevate your entrepreneurial experience from Success to Significance. You are a model of entrepreneurial success in your community. What steps can you take to expand your sphere of influence and make a significant impact on the EO members of tomorrow?

Read examples of suggested Global Entrepreneurship Week activities that any chapter can implement with minimal effort but maximum impact. While it may be global in scope, at its heart Global Entrepreneurship Week is a local initiative that reflects the entrepreneurial culture of each community. Be creative in deciding how your chapter can participate!

For more information about implementing these activities in your chapter, contact Courtney Shafer, Senior Vice President of Communications and Marketing.
