23 Oct ROTARY CLUBS JOIN HANDS FOR GEW 2015
Global Entrepreneurship Week carded for November 16th – 22nd, 2015, has been attracting a wide cross-section of stakeholders who, though they may not be actively involved in entrepreneurial development, have all agreed that that Entrepreneurship would definitely be a value-added element to the economic diversification process in Trinidad and Tobago.
One such stakeholder is Rotary Clubs of Trinidad and Tobago, which have not only leaving an indelible mark on the lives of many, but have also been making enormous contributions towards global development. Consisting of business professionals who collectively volunteer their time and efforts to assist communities through the facilitation of various types of projects, the roles of Rotary Clubs has been evolving to effectively widen their base support.
Recognizing the pivotal role of entrepreneurship in this country’s economic diversification process, the Rotary Club fraternity has been engaging in different types of entrepreneurial activities. For GEW 2015, there would be a collective thrust in interest, as the Clubs have decided to celebrate entrepreneurs by showcasing successful entrepreneurs at their meetings scheduled for hosting in November.
Aimed at demonstrating the many levels at which entrepreneurship can build our society, this initiative will indeed be a start of moving entrepreneurial development to another level. It is also hoped that other business interest groups would collaborate with Rotary Clubs, in not only celebrating entrepreneurs, but also contributing towards nurturing and continuously enhancing the nation’s start-ups and existing entrepreneurs.
