Recently, I was asked to serve as a judge for the Oregon Association of Minority Entrepreneurs (OAME) Youth Entrepreneurship
Forty-five students participated in the areas of business plan development, managing finances and obtaining funding, marketing and professional development.
As a judge, it was inspiring to see their passions ignited simply by a mentor telling them they can do anything they want. If they have a dream, they can build it. I was impressed by the students' ability to understand market need and how to create a profitable business.
I am excited to see how these young entrepreneur's careers evolve and I am glad to have participated!
