As many of you know, I actively participate in the entrepreneur community here where I live in Metro Detroit.
The monthly meeting of the Oakland Business Forum is a big part of my activity and our most recent meeting this past Tuesday was absolutely fantastic. Entrepreneurs from across the region showed up to learn, network, build their businesses and grow.
Arthur “Bud” Liebler of Liebler-MacDonald Communication Strategies was the keynote speaker for the evening and gave an engaging and informative keynote address about how he sees the Michigan Economy turning around and the role the entrepreneurs will play.
The”Entrepreneur of Honor” for the evening, a local entrepreneur selected to showcase their businesses, was John Rohrbeck, owner of Tax and Financial Strategies. John shared with the audience his story of building a successful business after spending 30 years working in corporate America.
Back by popular demand was “30 seconds to fame,” the extreme business networking segment of the meeting. 5 attendees were selected to advertise their products and services in front of the room and also for the video camera. Check out the March 2008 Oakland Business Forum 30 seconds to fame below!
Stay tuned next month, for our April 15 meeting. The Oakland Business Forum meets at the Northfield Hilton in Troy, Michigan located at 5500 Crooks Blvd. Doors open at 6pm and your first meeting is free.
