2012 Strategic Focus Areas
1: Continued involvement in the NC Entrepreneurship and Innovation Alliance (since 2003) and an ongoing partnership with the NC Rural Center's Institute for Rural Entrepreneurship (since 2005). We will continue to support the coordination of entrepreneurship development assistance and collaboration among local entrepreneurs, community leaders, and service providers to (a) expand the pipeline of entrepreneurs, (b) improve service delivery, and (c) encourage appropriate community support and leadership.
