April 23, 2009

SpringBoard Ideas Challenge Logo

I just received an email from the Springboard team saying the finalists have been notified. Best of luck to all of you who have made it to the final round. Finalists will be giving their verbal business pitches to the judges Saturday morning, in hopes of winning some of the $40,000 in prize money.

Whether or not you participated in the Springboard Challenge or not, you should be sure to sign-up for the awards dinner this Saturday night. Dr. Christopher Kersey is speaking on “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School About Entrepreneurship.” Tickets are $15 dollars and well worth it. You can sign-up for the dinner on Springboard’s website.

Come out for the poster session, featuring the Springboard participants and their ideas. The poster session will begin at 6:00pm and the dinner will begin at 7:00pm. The event will be held this Saturday night in the new ACU Hunter Welcome Center.

Hope to see you there.
