What an improvement.

This is just one more example of what happens when a community comes together to make a difference.

Over the last 4 years, the Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference (AZEC) has raised 100% of the operating capital for the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF a 501c3 corporation) which in turn has produced entreperneurial education and mentoring programs for women starting over at The Seeds House, teens and young adults through Tumbleweeds, and currently BluePrint for Survival for workers displaced in the economic downturn.

Without Francine’s passion for this project and the help of great thought leaders who have given of their time, confernence sponsors whose dollars provide the funding to support the conference and OTEF’s year round operations, many dedicated volunteers, and innovators like Brent, none of this would be possible.

It is the results that collaborations like these produce that makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Brent and Francine. Thank you for what you are doing for our community.

Joan Koerber-Walker, Chairman, OTEF

p.s. Sponsorships are still available for AZEC09. If you know of anyone looking for an incredible opportunity for visibility to a community of entrepreneurs both in greater Phoenix and across the social media landscape here’s your chance to be collaborative.
