One of the aspects of my job that I love the most is being able to attend education conferences all over the U.S. and speak to teachers about The BizWorld Foundation and our programs. Just recently I attended the National Association for Gifted Children Conference in Minneapolis, MN with my co-worker Ashley. I met countless amazing teachers whose dedication to education is very inspiring. I especially love running into teachers at conferences who have used the BizWorld or BizWiz programs...they always have some great stories to tell! I'll be attending the ASCD conference in New Orleans, LA in March 2008 and would love to see all of you! Please don't hesitate to shoot me an email and let me know what conferences you or your colleagues will be attending: kristen.mjoseth@bizworld.org
Preparing for Entrepreneurship Week

Entrepreneurship Week with the Salt Lake COC
- As part of the EntrepreneurshipWeek initiative...some BizWorld students were invited to have breakfast with the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. The students were nervous, but they performed their commercials, developed as part of their marketing plan., to the delight of the COC.

BizKids at Haas Business School
- Here are some photos of some 'BizKids' who participated in an event at the Haas Business School during Entrepreneurship Week. The students were part of a larger panel that included NFTE students and they spoke on their business experiences. This was just one part of the evening. Earlier, there was a 'Trailblazers' panel which included Venture Capitalist Tim Draper, as well as Richard Caruso,PhD, Founder of The Uncommon Individual and Jerome Engel, ED of the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Haas Business School. It was an informative and lively event and the students really shone!
