First Entrepreneur Support Providers Workshop of 2019
Set for March 20th
After closing out 2018 with Global Entrepreneurship Week and a visit from Andy Stoll from the Kauffman Foundation, the Upstate Entrepreneur Support Providers Network will be having their first meeting of 2019 on March 20th at Park 37 (250 Executive Center Dr., Greenville, SC 29607).

The focus for the first meeting will be to recap the Ecosystem Scorecard done during the November Workshop and then start moving forward towards the 2019 goal of growing community and regional awareness of entrepreneur programs.
 
The specific agenda for March 20th includes:
• Review 2018: What did we learn?
• Analyze the Ecosystem Scorecard
• Define priorities for creating local & regional awareness of the ecosystem
• Create 2019 editorial calendar for Upstate Business Journal
 
During the workshop attendees will break into small groups to work on different topics and develop plans that will be presented to the ecosystem partners. With so many new individuals and organizations joining the ecosystem, it will be an excellent chance to increase our network's capacity and share resources.
