Kauffman Foundation Spearheads First-Ever Entrepreneurs’ Movement
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation officially launched “Build a Stronger America,” a movement to unite entrepreneurs and help give them a stronger voice in the public discussion about the country’s economic future. The Movement went “live” before 1,200 of America’s most prolific entrepreneurs at the Inc. 500 conference in Washington. Through the Movement’s Web site (www.BuildaStrongerAmerica.com), entrepreneurs and business owners will, for the first time, have a central hub to share their stories, hear about issues affecting them and create a unified voice.
“Entrepreneurs are the key to our country’s economic recovery because they are creating the jobs and innovations that will bring us out of this decline and into sustainability and growth,” said Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation. “As a group, entrepreneurs are the silent heroes of our economy, and their success is heavily reliant on many factors outside of their direct control. The Kauffman Foundation is proud to give them a platform for the first time to share their stories and amplify their voice.”
By creating a unified, clear voice, “Build a Stronger America” will assist entrepreneurs and business owners in influencing the current dialogue on the economy to ensure that their specific needs are at the forefront of the decision-making process. Read more:
