Sarah Johns
First and foremost, thank you.
Thank you for being a supporter of NCET.
I am so proud to say that throughout 2024, Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology generated 96 hours of professional development for Northern Nevadans. I’m also very proud to say that throughout the past couple of years, when everyone has had to tighten their belts and adjust their spending habits, NCET did not increase membership dues.
We have made a concerted effort to be mindful of your budgets (and ours!) As such, we have chosen venues that will keep all of our expenditures down.
All while providing you phenomenal programming such as:
• Seeing the innovation revolution firsthand at UNR’s K-12 Robotics Center
• Touring Redwood Materials lithium recycling, refining, and remanufacturing site
• Sales is Not a Four-Letter Word
• How to Excel with Excel
• Creating the Workforce of the Future
• The $5 Difference: How to Change the World with Your Spare Change
And Special Panels
• Managing Finances and Cash Flow
• Nevada at the Epicenter of the New Energy Transition
• 9th Annual Digital Panel | AI, Marketing & Ethics … to name a few
As the child of parents who had to auction off their small hardware store in the 1980s after a big-box hardware retailer moved across the street, I am passionate about providing the education and tools for our local business owners and entrepreneurs to grow and thrive.
What we do isn’t sexy.
What we do may not be lifesaving, but it’s working to save the lifeblood of our community… our area’s small business owners and entrepreneurs.
At this time, I’d like to remind you that NCET is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit. We need your help to keep our commitment to the local business community. Please consider donating to the educational needs of our local entrepreneurs, business owners and employees. It’s easy to do so, go to https://ncetevents.org/event-5953589
Any little bit is greatly appreciated.
