Iowa Entrepreneurs' Coalition

DREAM - BELIEVE - PURSUE

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
—Henry David Thoreau

The Iowa Entrepreneurs’ Coalition embraces Advocacy, Education and Networking for entrepreneurs and small business owners. This group links you to public and private sector resources to assist your businesses growth. You can establish a network of local entrepreneurs to share tips and problem solving techniques, get advice on profitability and career and discuss mentoring and business models.

Each monthly meeting includes an educational opportunity and a networking component when you can swap business cards and watch your personal business directory grow! If you are a business owner, an entrepreneur or an organization that supports small business growth, you are invited to become a member of this group.

The Iowa Entrepreneurs’ Coalition is supported and administered by the Walmsley Group Inc. Click on the Sponsors' logos on the right side of this page.
