Taking Stock of Our EEC Journey: From the EEC Team

Dear Readers:
 
As we enter the last stretch of the academic year, EEC is taking time to reflect and iterate. We have spent this first year serving as the region’s collegiate entrepreneurship hub strengthening organizational capacity and systems, developing programs, building a team and partnerships, sharing information, and raising financial resources.

While we focus on these goals every day, we are still a small team and we need the support of our mighty team volunteers to reach our goals.  We thank our Board and volunteers for contributing their time, talent, and treasure to the fundamental building blocks of EEC.  We are also deeply grateful to all the funders who believe in our mission and have invested in our organization’s future.  
 
As a membership organization, we are committed to serving the needs of our members and their students so we are always working toward the goal of becoming the region’s hub for university-based entrepreneurship. As we address this goal, we want to know what you think and we welcome your ideas for the future.  We will be reaching out to each campus in the next couple months for a deep conversation about your needs, expectations, vision, hopes, and suggestions for improvement.  You can also email us your thoughts in the meantime!
 
This issue of our newsletter celebrates all our ideaLabs entrepreneurs, recognizes the accomplishments of EEC alumni, provides an inside look at projects underway, and looks at future plans and programs for EEC.  
 
Best wishes from our team,
 
Deborah Hoover 
CEO
