SWMN Core - CORE Task Group

CORE Task Group

The CORE Task Group consists of regional resource providers and entrepreneurs committed to improving entrepreneurial resources in southwest Minnesota.

These group members participated in the 2007-2008 Southwest Initiative Foundation's Entrepreneurship Network Academy, a convening of regional civic leaders, entrepreneurs, lenders, educators and economic development agencies. Since that time, they have assisted the Southwest Initiative Foundation in researching, planning and implementing CORE as a tool to make our region an even better place to do business.
