Welcome to the April 2009 edition of the ICSB Bulletin. The ICSB Bulletin has been established to capture the major ICSB news stories of the past month.
The April 2009 Bulletin is a strong reflection of both the breadth and depth of content available to our global membership. While we have put a particular focus on the 2009 World Conference preparations, our monthly bulletin showcases other worthwhile entrepreneurial events and competitions forthcoming. As we begin the month of May, I encourage all members to visit our conference website, http://www.icsb2009.org, to find key information and online registration. Also, please keep an eye out for our e-mail announcements and bi-weekly Conference E-Bulletins. If you are planning to attend the 2009 Conference, please secure your hotel and registration reservations as soon as possible. In addition to our conference related content, the April Bulletin also features important information from our affiliates, a call for entries from more than one entrepreneurial competition, and the introduction of our new Center Spotlight; with news from the UC Center for Entrepreneurship. Remember to please visit icsb2009.org for all your World Conference information and online registration. Please direct any questions to the ICSB International Office at icsb@gwu.edu. All the best for continued entrepreneurial success!
