  • (1888PressRelease) December 16, 2009 - Charlotte, NC – The National Hispanic Entrepreneurs’ Organization (www.nheo.org ) officially announced today the launch of their inspiring National Public Awareness Campaign for 2010. NHEO was founded by Kenan-Flagler MBA and social entrepreneur Juan Pablo Giometti, who worked with faculty mentors from MIT, Tel-Aviv University, and Tuck School of Business, Kenan-Flagler MBA students, and successful entrepreneurs to build the organization. NHEO offers a wide range of developmental initiatives for minority entrepreneurs and has quickly grown within the North Carolina community within 2009, focusing on Leadership, Knowledge, and Enterprise Development, to achieve its mission.

    The National Public Awareness Campaign is an immediate call to action by the team of young social entrepreneurs as a part of their Advocacy and Outreach efforts. The organization has already received verbal endorsements from many influential community leaders, executive heads, government officials, and us representatives who all strongly believe in the NHEO message that entrepreneurial dreams can come true with the right support….Make it happen.

    “I fully support the mission and philosophy of the National Hispanic Entrepreneurs Organization. I was very impressed by my meeting with them and look forward to working with them to meet their groundbreaking goals within the Charlotte community.” Stated US Representative Sue Myrick

    The Communications campaign will include the launch of their new awareness video “Dreams” both in Spanish and in English that can currently be found at http://www.nheo.org.

    “Our approach and programs have had great feedback and acceptance in 2009.” said Founder Juan Pablo Giometti. “Now it’s time to find additional community leaders, and let the nation learn about our vision and goals so that they can get involved and be part of our movement for social change.”

    The National Hispanic Entrepreneurs’ Organization offers a wide range of developmental initiatives for minority entrepreneurs such as their NHEO Boot Camp and NHEO Challenge programs.
