Description: | This peer-based, mentor-driven program will empower entrepreneurs to overcome business challenges, create new opportunities and develop meaningful connections within the business community. Meeting once a week during the 10-month program, Core participants explore new methods for business growth in a confidential, noncompetitive environment with assistance from fellow classmates, UB School of Management faculty and external business experts. The Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) Core Program is designed for business owners and leaders with ventures that have progressed beyond the startup phase of operation. Core is for individuals that wish to move beyond their current organizational and revenue plateaus, be more strategic and less encumbered by day-to-day issues, implement tactical and strategic changes, control and direct the forces that shape their lives, and contribute to the community and the lives of others through their ventures. |
