"There's nothing like the energy and ideas that are shared at the Arizona Entrepreneurship Conferences each year" stated Joan Koerber-Walker, chairman and founder of CorePurpose, Inc. "I'm honored to have been asked to return again this year as MC for this important gathering of the leading entrepreneurs and thought leaders from our community as together we support the Opportunity for Entrepreneurship Foundation(OTEF) in their mission."

Founded in 2006, OTEF provides entrepreneurial training and support to at-risk populations allowing them to build the skills and confidence needed to start businesses. (www.otef.org)

OTEF's major fundraiser is the the Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference, an annual event that brings together nationally known experts, including Michael Gerber, Robert Scoble, and Arizona entrepreneurial icon Pat Sullivan, These nationally known though leaders join panels made up of local CEOS in sharing insights with entreprenuers and business leaders from across Arizona. All proceeds from the conference then are applied to funding OTEF programs throughout the year.
