Calling All Young Entrepreneurs!

Calling All Young Entrepreneurs!

New!!  TEACH is offering an opportunity for young entrepreneurs, age 12-20, to showcase their business products or *services as Jr. Vendors at the 2011  Homeschool Convention, June 10th & 11th.
 
http://teachct.org/2011convention.shtml

Great "real world" practice!

Criteria to Participate:
1) Participating teens, age 12-20, must be currently homeschooled.

2) Teen is registered, with at least one parent, to attend the conference. Registration Information http://teachct.org/2011convention.shtml

3) The Teen Entrepreneurs Row will only be open during the time periods when keynote speaker Bill Jack is not conducting a speaking session.

4) The Vendor Booth fee is $10, to help cover the cost of the draped tables & chairs supplied to vendors, (considerably less than the normal $100 fee).  The idea is also to have the teen "invested" in their business.

5) If the business is a *service, the teen should have a display board or some method to showcase his/her service --ex: photos, customer testimonials, etc.. as well as business cards or brochures to hand out.

6) Business casual attire and a professional attitude are appreciated. 

If you are interested in participating, please e-mail Peter Person teachvendors@teachct.org to receive a vendor packet.  

Vendor application & fee must be postmarked by June 3rd to qualify. Don't Delay!
Note: Pre-Registration for the Convention --  
deadline June 3rd, is required in order to participate.
