Our mission is to promote entrepreneurial awareness and education through bilingual coaching, professional development and networking.
Workshops are intended to raise the level of financial literacy in our community. Our primary goal is to address topics related to building individual economic wealth.
All of our monthly meetings have a strategic networking component. We believe that for individuals and entrepreneurs to grow, they need to develop relationships. We do this in a very informal, yet structured, manner while we enjoy learning from each other and expert speakers. Meetings take place the third Thursday of the month at different locations. The meetings are open to all individuals or organizations interested in the topics presented. Meetings cost non members $10.00 for refreshments and materials, while members' meeting fees are covered in yearly dues of $50.00.
We believe that raising entrepreneurship awareness and providing career choices needs to start at a young age.
The camp provides an opportunity for youth between the ages of 9 and 17 to learn how to develop and effective business plan presentation in one week. The BEST Youth Camp recently completed is fifth year mentoring Milwaukee youth with business plan training.
This 8-week programs prepare established entrepreneurs poised to growth with financing or investing opportunities.
The program has three elements: 6 week strategic training, bilingual business coaching and business growth plan articulation to a group of lenders or investors. 85% of the graduates of this program have secure some type of financing after successful program completion.
This program is partly funded by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
We are a network of bilingual service professionals, and microenterprises, that through strategic alliances and coaching relations, extend each other access to marketing, real estate, advertising, accounting, tax preparation and consulting services.
LEN has partnered with the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Southeastern Wisconsin to offer technical assistance in Cash Flow Management and in Business Continuation Strategies.
A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can do more than we can do alone. Let's bring our abilities and passions together to affect real change.
