Entrepreneurship Learning Groups

Two theme areas that emerged from Building Entrepreneurial Communities in the Northeast meeting were Youth and Community Entrpreneurship and Community Supported Entrepreneurship. If you are interested in being involved in one or both of these groups, please contact Jim McConnon (jimm@umext.maine.edu) for Youth Entrepreneurship and Rod Howe (rlh13@cornell.edu) for Community Supported Entrepreneurship (or contact nercrd@psu.edu).

These learning groups will provide a mechanism for Extension and Research professionals to:

• Learn from one another
  Share research and programs
  Lay the groundwork for enhanced multi-state collaboration

The Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development is located at the Pennsylvania State University and collaborates with land grant institutions in the northeast U.S.
