Entrepreneurial election underway for retail industry

Imagine where the retail industry would be without entrepreneurs? The growth of retail is dependent on individuals who identify opportunities and take risks. Now, an organization that fosters that mentality among a future generation of difference-makers needs YOUR vote!

Enactus USA, the organization formerly known as Students In Free Enterprise or SIFE, is looking to earn a $500,000 grant from Microsoft in the company’s #UpgradeYourWorld campaign which runs through August 23.

“This is a great opportunity for Enactus to receive $500,000 to further enhance our significant impact in improving livelihoods and communities through entrepreneurial action. In the past year we’ve impacted more than 900,000 people, created 552 new businesses and 1,951 new jobs via 1,780 projects implemented by (more than) 16,500 students from 533 campuses across 48 states,” said Enactus U.S. president Alex Perwich.

There are multiple ways to participate in the Microsoft Upgrade Your World campaign to recognize the efforts of nonprofit groups. To launch a vote:
