In The Spotlight: Notable Community Entrepreneur


Do you know someone in your community who inspires you with their ability to use innovative and entrepreneurial skills and attitudes to adapt and thrive? Let us know about them, and they might be featured in our quarterly newsletter!

In the past, CIEL has co-sponsored a yearly Community Entrepreneur and Innovative Organization award. It's been a great way of recognizing outstanding acheivement and sharing inspirational stories of success.

If you have someone in mind from your community, please send us a brief write-up (250 words) about them. You can include information about their role in the community, attitudes or outlooks that make them stand out, and how they've transformed a challenging situation into an opportunity.

You can send your Notable Community Entrepreneur write-up to info@theciel.com. If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about CIEL's work, phone us at (250) 352-9192 or toll free (888) 352-9192.
