Dear Business Educators and Friends of Entrepreneurship:
The Katz School of Business is hosting the 12th annual SAGE USA Tournament at the University of Pittsburgh on May 23-25. (Please feel free to forward this note to friends or colleagues, especially in the Pittsburgh area. A schedule of events is presented below.) The top two teams advance to our "SAGE World Cup" tournament in Moscow, Russia on August 8-13.
We would like you to attend, either as a judge or observer.
Pete Eimer, professor of accounting at D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY is organizing the event. Pete's assistant is Liz Wendorf. They have been cc'd here.
SAGE Mission: Our mission is to help create the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders whose innovations and social enterprises address the major unmet needs of our global community. Under the direction of university student mentors/business consultants, teenage youth use their school learning to become self-reliant, create wealth, and help others. At the end of each academic year, the SAGE teams participate in an interscholastic tournament to determine which teams are the most effective. At this tournament, YOU are the REFEREE! (But you don't have to wear stripes or blow a whistle).
What Does a SAGE Judge Do? You will serve on a panel which evaluates the quality of a high school team's four-page annual report and its 13-minute multimedia presentation. Judges instructions will be given before the teams compete.
If you are interested in learning more about the Russia event in August, please let me know. SAGE provides five nights' lodging and meals to all prospective judges, at a cost of only $600 to accredited judges. Air and visa costs are not paid by SAGE.
Miles of Smiles,
Curt
