Dear Friends,

Greetings, I hope you are well!

The Katz School of Business is hosting the 12^th annual SAGE USA Tournament at the University of Pittsburgh on May 23-25. A schedule of events is presented at the end of this email. 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 (note: we provide food and lodging).

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.

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 Pittsburgh event and/or 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. Prospective judges in Pittsburgh or Moscow should contact me at cdeberg@csuchico.edu.

 Miles of Smiles,

Curt

Dear Friend of Entrepreneurship:

On Saturday, April 19, please join us from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm,  Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) is hosting the "SAGE CA Expo." Several Northern California SAGE teams will make their presentations describing their entrepreneurial ventures this past year. The agenda is attached (note: breakfast and lunch will be provided).

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, 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. SAGE judges are briefed at 8:30 am the day of the tournament. Moreover, all SAGE judges will have the opportunity to meet, interact and network with other SAGE judges, many of whom are (1) entrepreneurs, (2) business leaders, and (3) civic leaders.
