Leading expert on small business and entrepreneurship to speak at IEEW 2016 Women's Economic Summit
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 21, 2016 -- The Institute for the Economic Empowerment of Women (IEEW) announced today that award-winning thought-leader on small business and entrepreneurship, Jim Blasingame, will address the 2016 International Women’s Economic Summit and Graduation in Dallas, TX, on July 22, 2016. He will identify Four World-Changing Ideas, including The Age of the Customer®, The Journey of Trust, The Challenge of Analog Ethics, and the New Face of Liberty.
“We’re very excited to have someone with Jim Blasingame’s thought-leadership credentials address our event,” said IEEW Founder, Dr. Terry Neese. “I’ve known Jim a long time and he’s been an abiding supporter of all we do here at IEEW. We’ve asked Jim to speak to our Summit because he has a unique ability to take macro trends and explain their implications in plain English.”
Now in its 10th year, IEEW’s PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® program has educated and empowered over 600 women entrepreneurs in Rwanda and Afghanistan, with over 80% of graduates still in business today. These women are creating income for their families, jobs for their employees, and economic stability for their countries.
“I’ve watched – and supported – IEEW from the time it was a gleam in Terry’s eye a decade ago,” said Blasingame, “to the international success story it is today. I’ve met many of the graduates over the years and can’t think of when I’ve been more moved and inspired than by the spirit, hard work and success of these beautiful women. It’s an honor to be associated with an organization that produces so much leadership and opportunity as does IEEW.”

He is founder and president of Small Business Network, Inc., but best known as the creator and award-winning host of the nationally syndicated weekday radio program, The Small Business Advocate® Show.
