ABOUT THE ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR PROGRAM
We live in the age of the Entrepreneur. Their importance - for our community and
our economy - is unparalleled. They create and innovate to change our world. Entrepreneurs
are a special breed - they see opportunity where others see problems; they believe
their ideas can be achieved when others say they can't; they passionately bring
their dreams to life. They embody a spirit - the Spirit of Entrepreneurship - that
is the hallmark of America.
The Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship at California State University San
Bernardino, The Press Enterprise, and The Business Press have entered into a unique
partnership to establish the annual "Spirit of the Entrepreneur" Awards Program in the
Inland Empire. This program has come to life as a result of our passionate belief that
the Inland Empire community should honor and reward the entrepreneurial men and women
who innovate, take risks and build businesses that contribute significantly to our local
economy.
The Spirit of the Entrepreneur Awards honors Inland Empire entrepreneurs in nine
different categories: Emerging Entrepreneur, Technology Entrepreneur, Social
Entrepreneur, Corporate Entrepreneur, Supporter of Entrepreneurship, Innovator,
Family Business Entrepreneur, General Entrepreneur, and the Lifetime Spirit of
Entrepreneurship (www.spiritawards.biz).
