Lincoln (Neb.) - Oct. 29, 1999 - The Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business Administration and UNL Students in Free Enterprise will present a Young Entrepreneurs Seminar at Norris High School Nov. 4.
The YES program aims to help youths in Nebraska learn more about entrepreneurship as well as the career opportunities available in Nebraska. This program strives to reduce the "brain drain" resulting from talented young Nebraskans leaving the state.
Richard Kimbrough of Crete, motivational speaker and owner of several businesses, will be the presenter. He has conducted entrepreneurship seminars in many states and in the former Soviet Union. In 1991, he was one of 17 American educators to receive the Leavey Award for Excellence in Free Enterprise Education presented through the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge.
Kimbrough will begin the day at 8:30 a.m. as keynote speaker at Norris High School's career fair and present several workshops throughout the day. The workshops from 9:35-11:30 a.m. and 1:40- 2:55 p.m. will focus on the creativity necessary for entrepreneurs in today's society and challenge the students to examine their futures and learn why they cannot depend on others to provide them jobs.

Square D Co., Williamson's, First National Beatrice Bank and
Trust Co. Cortland Branch, First State Bank, American Tool,
Christian Heritage, Cheever Construction, Firth Cooperative,
