Jim Jenkins Keynote Speaker for 2004 Entrepreneuring in North Dakota

One of the biggest challenges we have in a rural state such as North Dakota is trying to grow our communities and economy from within. This is the 4th Annual Entrepreneuring in North Dakota Seminar sponsored by Dickinson State University. Our theme this year is “Growing Through Entrepreneurship”. The theme expresses the seminar organizers’ and university’s attempt to utilize the resources we have in southwestern North Dakota to our best benefit to make southwestern a better haven for entrepreneurial spirit. Our six speakers and presenters all have their own unique approach to entrepreneurship. We are confident they will enlighten and stimulate you and help you to reassess where your community stands in the entrepreneurial picture.
