Expo to assist businesses

    Entrepreneur Expo will provide exhibits and seminars for future small business owners.

   Lockheed Martin, JP Morgan Chase and the Women’s Business Center will present the 2002 Entrepreneur Expo. Friday, March 1. The Expo will be held in the west wing of the Fort Worth Convention Center from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

   Catherine Simpson, Women’s Business Center director, said one of the highlights of the Expo will be the Millionaire’s Raffle. By purchasing a raffle ticket for $10, a person has the chance to win a day with a millionaire.

   The tickets for the Expo will cost $45 for regular registration and $60 at the door. However, a special half price rate of $22.50 is offered to anyone currently unemployed, Simpson said.

   Students can participate in the Entrepreneur Expo. The Expo will be especially beneficial to business majors and those who wish to start their own business, Simpson said.

   Participants from TCC include Women in New Roles (WIN-R) and the Small Business Development Center.

   David Edmonds, center director, pointed out that TCC’s Small Business Development Center does several joint programs with the Women’s Business Center.

   “Participation also affords me the opportunity to expose the Tarrant County College Small Business Development Center programs to more potential clients in the Tarrant County area,” he said.
