We are excited to announce that our Entrepreneurs-In-Residence program will continue for the 2020 - 2021 school year! In September 2020 our EIRs will return for regular consultation appointments each month.
Until then our EIR Al Newman is available virtually throughout the summer months. Contact us via phone at (734) 249-5880 (leave a message and we will return calls during regular work hours), or through email at [email protected] to learn more about scheduling an appointment.
The EIR program, started in 2019, enhances our mentoring services at the EC, and is made possible by a private grant. Four local entrepreneurs are available as business consultants in their area of expertise, see bios below. One-on-one individual 50-minute appointments can be made after an initial intake with the EC, please see this page for our Business Assistance Request form to begin the process. The following Entrepreneurs-In-Residence (EIRs) advise on the following topics:
