The Sirolli Institute for International Enterprise Facilitation Incorporated/Wes Tex Allied Communities Retreat was hosted by the Plainview Convention & Visitors & the Plainview Entrepreneur Guide Alliance.

Representing Sirolli is the Institute's founder Dr. Ernesto Sirolli from Sacramento, CA

and Director of Business Development Yvonne Fizer who is from the Institute Edmonton, Alberta center.

In attendance are individuals committed to nurturing entrepreneurs in their communities from as close as Crosbyton & the Panhandle to Leon, Mexico. Pictured here with Dr. Sirolli and PEGA cofounder Paul Henderson is Bob Beck (far left), an engineer and entrepreneur from Arlington Heights, IL (near Chicago)

.

The fact that Plainview has an environment that welcomes the entrepreneurs is because of the leadership from our elected officials. Here Mayor John C. Anderson discusses the City's entrepreneur friendly culture with Dr. Sirolli.

The Retreat began on the 23rd and will continue through Thursday the 25th. Classes are held at the Plainview Civic Center and site visits are planned to locations served by WesTex.
