On Wednesday, Think Big
Partners welcomed Kansas
Secretary of Commerce Pat George to the bizperc
coworking community. The Kansas
Secretary of Commerce and the Kansas government visited in order to see the growing entrepreneurial movement
that both Kansas and Missouri are experiencing and to learn about how the
Kansas government can get involved in the initiative.
Entrepreneurship
is close to Mr. George’s heart. As a
true entrepreneur himself, our own Secretary of Commerce spent 25 years
starting and building numerous successful business ventures in southwest Kansas
including a family automobile dealership, real estate developments and
professional sports organizations. Mr.
George has enhanced his entrepreneurial goals by running for Kansas Secretary
of Commerce in 2011. He now leads the
state’s economic development organization in its mission to empower and bring prosperity
to individuals, businesses and communities.
With these goals, Mr. George’s focus is to create jobs through business
recruitment and expansion—which means that he can go back to his roots and
focus on entrepreneurship in Kansas.
Which brings us
to why the Secretary of Commerce visited Think Big Partners and bizperc
yesterday. At the meeting, Think Big
Partners and the Kansas government will sat down to discuss the importance of
new businesses, startups and job growth in Kansas. Kansas is getting serious
about entrepreneurship and job growth and this meeting proves that the
government is taking a step in the right direction.
Thank you to
Secretary of Commerce Pat George and the city of Kansas for helping to make the
Midwest one a hub for entrepreneurship, startups and overall job growth.
