Entrepreneurs get Sandoval's support

As part of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada's program to encourage entrepreneurial growth, Gov. Brian Sandoval called several entrepreneurs in the region to recognize their efforts to expand.

Working with EDAWN, Sandoval called Steve Conine, owner of AccuStaff and president of the Entrepreneurs' Organization Reno/ Tahoe Chapter, Colin Loretz, founder of Cloudsnap and the Reno Collective; Mark Hatjakes, founder of SoSu.tv Media production company; Seth Sheck, chief executive officer of Access Pass & Design; and Peter Gunnerman, CEO of Advanced Refining Concepts.

After the call, Conine said, "To hear first hand that I was making a difference in our community and that he was aware of the efforts of actual working entrepreneurs was really impressive. It was incredibly motivating to me personally."
