The Spirit of Enterprise
Junior Achievement of Memphis

The Society of Entrepreneurs and Junior Achievement of the Mid-South are partnering to bring an outstanding speaker, Mr. Larry Farrell, to the Entrepreneurs Roundtable at noon on Thursday, September 18th at Exchange City, 307 Madison Ave.

Larry Farrell's first book, Searching For The Spirit Of Enterprise, established him as an international authority on entrepreneurship and high growth companies. His next book, The Entrepreneurial Age, broadened that original theme to examine how the power of entrepreneurship can be harnessed by companies, and entire countries to compete and prosper in the 21st century. Getting Entrepreneurial!, his latest book, is an application driven guide for "the 70% of the workforce who dream of someday creating and running their own business."

Registration, including lunch, is $25 per person. To make reservations, please contact Pearson Crutcher, 901-682-9920 or Pearson@soememphis.com.
