[CircleUp] FW: NEED Application Deadline Extended - New Training Date

[Info]

Oweesta would like to announce that the upcoming Native Enterprise &
Entrepreneurship Development Initiative training, previously scheduled for
October 7-9 has been postponed.  The training has been rescheduled for
November 11-13, 2009 at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel.  

The NEED Initiative is based on a new model of community economic
development.  Tailored for Native CDFIs and their partners, it provides
comprehensive training and technical assistance designed to assist Native
communities with developing effective enterprise and entrepreneurship
systems in their communities.  The training addresses key areas of economic
development specific to Native communities, including community environment,
local entrepreneurship climate and policy, coaching, access to capital, and
entrepreneurship education.  In addition to training, new participants will
have access to free technical assistance from Oweesta to help them develop
and implement the NEED model in their communities.  

The three-day training will be held at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel on
November 11-13, 2009 in Prior Lake, MN.   Applications for participation are
now available and will be accepted through OCTOBER 9, 2009 (PLEASE NOTE
DEADLINE EXTENSION). The cost of the training is $75.00 per person but the
follow-up technical assistance is free of charge.  Communities that
participate, as well as past NEED Initiative participants, will be offered
the opportunity to attend three subsequent online training sessions that
will focus more deeply on specific topics of the NEED model.  For more
information or to obtain an application please visit
<http://www.oweesta.org/> www.oweesta.org or contact Kaitlin Cramer at
<mailto:kaitlin at oweesta.org> kaitlin at oweesta.org or by calling (605)
342-3770.

Due to limited space and high demand, organizations will not be accepted
into the program and continue to receive ongoing customized technical
assistance unless they are committed to attend the training and progress
through the programmatic milestones as applied to their particular
organization and community.
