High School Activities

The next high school business plan competition will be held on January 7, 2012. 

Thanks to St. Vincent Health for hosting the Young Entrepreneur’s Business Plan Competition! We appreciate their support!

2012 Young Entrepreneur’s Business Plan Guidelines 

We have sports boosters. We have music boosters.  Why not become an Entrepreneurship Booster!

Entrepreneurship Boosters support entrepreneurship education activities for high school students. What a great way to support students as they begin to develop in their professional lives. 

EAC conducted a survey of past participants in our high school business plan competition. Here are some highlights of the results:

  • 100% were glad they took the entrepreneurship course
  • 82% said that the cash prizes offered in the competition were an incentive
  • 65% said they plan to open a business in the future
  • 35% said they might open a business

My experience at the [business plan] competition taught me a lot about the business world. Things that most high school students rarely learn in those 4 years or even after. You have to be dedicated and passionate about your business in order to put in the time and effort into owning your own business. It prepared me for what could lie ahead.                                                                  -Lee, Sheridan

I enjoyed it [the business plan competition] very much. The feedback that the judges gave was invaluable in revising our plan and the knowledge I gained from talking to the professionals helped me better understand the business world today.             -Matt, Carmel

You can become an Entrepreneurship Education Booster starting at just $50. All sponsors will be listed in the competition program. Sponsors at $500 and above will receive additional benefits. Call Cathy at 813-5413 or click here to email her to learn more.

Health Care Reform: What are the impacts on my small business?

January 6, 2011 By

Are you confused about how health care reform impacts your small business? The sweeping health-care reform law promises a wave of change in the way that small business owners purchase and provide health insurance for themselves and their employees. Although the new law will take 8 years to be fully implemented, small employers are already beginning to feel the impact of these changes.

Key Points You Will Learn:

  • Which plans are exempt from or grandfathered under the new law (and the implications of grandfathered status).
  • New rules that will impact plans in 2011 and 2012, and how employers should be responding to those changes.
  • Which small employers will qualify for the new small employer tax credit, and the benefits available under that program.
  • Recent agency guidance and corresponding implications for employer group health plans. 

Join us as Mike MacLean, Partner at  Baker & Daniels, answers your questions.
