AEO (Association for Enterprise Opportunity)’s Post

Join us on May 6th for the Free Enterprise Awards honoring Bruce Bell and Karl Schmidt! This event is one of my favorites every year and it’s one of my favorite conversations around business. So, what is “free enterprise”, why does it matter and why are we celebrating it (and so should you!)? Free enterprise is the freedom of a business or organization to operate in a competitive market system without regulation beyond what’s necessary to protect public interest and keep the national economy in balance. Free enterprise is business operating in its most natural form - giving credence to innovation, responding to market demand and shaping our economy. Some of the biggest leaps in human achievement and ideation come from a free market system. Without free enterprise we wouldn’t have opportunities to try so many new things and build upon early stage ideas. So each year (for over 40 years!) the Rotary Club of Green Bay singles out someone (or two) in our community to celebrate for their contribution to free enterprise, for the risks they’ve taken, for the opportunities they’ve created and the businesses they’ve built. We want to live in a community where free enterprise is celebrated and is commonplace. We want those risk takers and innovators to reside here, to take those risks here, to bring those ideas here. And if we want it, then we need to help foster it. So join us on May 6th to honor Bruce Bell & Karl Schmidt from Belmark inc, and to honor the contributions they’ve made to free enterprise in our area. Let us celebrate the role that free enterprise plays in making us a strong, innovative and dynamic business community and how that foundation will help us bring new business opportunities here for generations to come. #business #freeenterprise #localbusiness #entrepreneurship
