Come learn about going beyond business help for entrepreneurs to developing strategies for community preparedness for entrepreneurship. This poster session provides insights for making entrepreneurship a robust and sustainable community and economic development strategy. The Wisconsin experience of supporting an entrepreneurial climate at the state, regional and local levels will be shared with those that peruse this poster session. The Wisconsin Entrepreneurs' Network (WEN), a "virtual" network of existing service providers to support entrepreneur's without creating a new bureaucracy, will also be detailed.
