Alva Entrepreneurship Event

Glenna Mae HendricksAlva, Oklahoma, is my home town, and we have a group of partners supporting entrepreneurship. During the Global Entrepreneurship Week, the partners are sponsoring Entrepreneurship from Passions to Profit: Building your Business, and our own Glenna Mae is a featured speaker. (Go, Mom!)

At this event, the focus is on “how to build and encourage an entrepreneurial spirit in yourself and your community.”
