Unemployment for workers 50+ is substantially higher than the official U.S. figures and economic growth low for the foreseeable future. CPL has joined with the Kauffman Foundation, AARP and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) to sponsor a one-day meeting for people 50 and older (the AARP membership cut-off) to create a greater awareness and understanding about the benefits of pursuing the entrepreneurial path.
America was built on the foundation of an enterprising spirit and self-reliance. Creation of new businesses exemplifies the pioneering spirit and can achieve the following objectives:
• Enable workers 50+ to remain productively engaged, instead of sitting on the sidelines and drawing from instead of contributing to our economy
• Reduce unemployment and increase our national productivity
• Contribute to the country’s economic growth
The first meeting on March 27, 2012 will be hosted by the Kauffman Foundation. An important goal for these meetings is to publicize and promote the entrepreneurial path for people 50+. The goal will be to build a national momentum for the substantial creation of more entrepreneurial endeavors.
This meeting will be for a maximum of 100 participants 50+, for which there will be no charge. Follow-on activities will be planned for participants who indicate their interest on the questionnaire.

The first meeting will serve as a model for similar one-day meetings in the last half of 2012 in Boston, Chicago and Denver with the same objective: to increase awareness and understanding about the benefits of taking the entrepreneurial path. No dates or hosts have been established for the following three meetings, but information about them will be posted as soon as available.
