Green River Entrepreneur Club
http://entrepreneurclub.blogspot.com
Conceived with greater community growth and small business development as its primary goal, the Green River Entrepreneur Club strives to positively affect the entrepreneurial environment in the Green River region. The club is structured to meet two major needs of entrepreneurs and small business owners, education and networking. The Green River Entrepreneur club provides a forum for local entrepreneurs to network with other local business people; facilitate greater opportunities for education through a variety of discussion topics and guest speakers; and to cultivate, develop, and sustain local entrepreneur endeavors leading to greater economic development for the region. To date, the Green River Entrepreneur Club has invited CPAs, lawyers, politicians, business executives, and many more to share their ideas.
