Long before the Ice House Entrepreneurship program was developed, Clifton Taulbert evolved from an entrepreneur and first time author into an author of several more books and nominee for the Pulitzer prize for his second book "Last Train North" in the early nineties. His work connected with so many people that along the way he's become an Internationally known speaker and community builder. His message to us on the evening of May 29 will go far beyond entrepreneurship, telling us how entrepreneurship is but one of the values we can embrace to build stronger families and communities.
The kind of grass-roots economic development the entrepreneurial mindset can bring to my community will not reach it's full potential without the the community and relationship building that Clifton Taulbert has been speaking about Internationally for the last 20 years. I suspect the same is true of many communities including yours.
Please feel free to come to Independence, Kansas on May 29 and hear Clifton's message. You'll think he's talking to you about your specific situation and community. For my distant friends and contacts, if you come to Wichita, Tulsa or Kansas City you'll be within a couple hours drive of of Independence. This will be a memorable evening and worth your time, no matter from where you come.
Tickets and information about this special event are available at www.ibrc.org.
