Letter From Y.E.S. Chairman
The Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation is pleased to present the Youth Entrepreneur Showcase (Y.E.S.) for Arkansas. Y.E.S. is a statewide business plan competition where students in grades 5-8 showcase their potential for creativity, intuition, and innovation in today's dynamic marketplace.
The competition is designed to encourage Arkansas' students to act upon their ideas and talents in order to produce tomorrow's businesses. This approach encourages students to apply what they learn in school to a real world setting. In short, Y.E.S. is meant to enhance entrepreneurship education in Arkansas.
Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation (AEAF), an affiliate of Arkansas Capital Corporation, provides the opportunity for Arkansas students of all ages to learn about entrepreneurship and instill in them the vision that they could be the next great Arkansas entrepreneur.
It is my hope that you and your students will take advantage of this wonderful entrepreneurial experience.
Respectfully,
Sam Walls
Chairman,
Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation
