Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education

http://www.entre-ed.org/   1601 West Fifth Avenue, #199, Columbus, OH 43212.  Phone:  614-486-6538.  E-mail:  Dr. Cathy Ashmore, Executive Director, cashmore@entre-ed.org.  The purpose of the Consortium (says their web-site)  is to "bring 'entrepreneurship experiences' to young people everywhere through their schools and community programs. It no longer was enough to hope they had some experiences...in their homes or communities...that encouraged the entrepreneurial spirit and taught the skills important for success. And we grew to understand that entrepreneurship provides a viable answer to many issues related to opportunities for women and minorities, disaffected youth, rural economic development, global competition, unemployment, invention and innovation, financial literacy, and application of core subjects."  The Consortium offers an annual conference on entrepreneurship, assistance for teachers of budding entrepreneurs, and a web-site and forum offering potentially-useful contacts regarding entrepreneurship.
