During my three years of working as the Development Assistant for the Youth Entrepreneurs Program I have spent a great deal of time committed to working with the YE Alumni Advisory Council in Wichita, a small group of alumni, willing to help and eager to connect with other alumni who had the same interests as them—BUSINESS. Together the council was able to come up with small events that would do just that.
Over and Over again the people who attended these events would tell us that while they enjoyed the speaker, what they enjoyed the most was the opportunity to network with people like themselves. That there was a sense of camaraderie between themselves and others who took the “Youth Entrepreneurs Kansas” class in High School.
And with this, “Biz Connect” was born. On Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 5:30 pm, Youth Entrepreneurs will host its biggest alumni event yet. This event is free and open to the public, but most importantly it is unique from all of our other events! Biz Connect will be the first time Youth Entrepreneurs has intermingled our alumni and community supporters on a personal level.

Where: Abode Venue, downtown at 1330 E. Douglas, Wichita, KS
