SUMMARY:Shawnee Native Launchpad
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Native entrepreneurs (or those that want to be!) \nWe are launching a two-day\, in-person program to help you develop a viable business model\, refine it\, and then create and market the business. We’ll dive into getting customers\, financial modeling\, and setting goals within your business. After the two sessions\, you’ll have a plan to take action! \nThis program utilizes the CO.STARTERS platform and curriculum. CO.STARTERS is a global support network that equips communities with proven programs to empower local entrepreneurs. IDRS is proud to be one of the pioneering organizations in the US to bring CO.STARTERS to Indian Country. Participants in the Bootcamp will receive a CO.STARTERS manual\, snacks\, moral support\, and a chance to win prizes! \nThe IDRS Acorn Project\, in partnership with Red Willow Consulting\, will present Native Launchpad on Monday and Tuesday\, October 21st and 22nd\, 2024 from 6 pm to 9 pm.  This is a 2-day training and attendance both days is required.  Registration is open to all community members and the workshop is free to attend.  To register please click on the “Going” button below and fill in your information. \nThe workshop will be located at the Gordon Cooper Tech Center\, 1 John C Bruton Dr. in Shawnee\, OK. \nFor more information\, please contact our community host Melissa Rosenfelt\, CEO of Red Willow Consulting.
