The U.S. Small Business Administration, AARP and Broward SCORE will team up on Tuesday, Oct. 2, for the first National Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Day at Nova Southeastern University to help people over the age of 50 start or grow a business.
The free Entrepreneur Mentor Day event, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Alvin Sherman Library, 3100 Ray Ferrero Blvd., will match entrepreneurs with successful business owners and community leaders for advice and assistance during five-minute speed counseling sessions.
National Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Day is part of a larger effort by the SBA, AARP, and Broward SCORE to promote entrepreneurship among people over 50.
“We find that older entrepreneurs are often more dedicated and eager to do whatever is possible to
work on their business goals,” said George Gremse, chair of Broward SCORE. “And, when they take advantage of long-term counseling they tend to see better results.”
