We intend to invite Deans from a number of Schools of Business or Commerce to serve on a small national council of 10-12 diverse institutions. The Council will meet four times a year. Based on recommendations from this Council, fellows will be selected to pursue the study of Enterprise Best Practices through research, lectures and publications. Each fellow will receive a stipend based on the particular project that is the subject of research. The Council will also be the source of recommendations for enterprises and individuals deserving of recognition for their contributions to their communities including a periodic National Award named in honor of Theodore Roosevelt for Lifetime Service to the Nation.

We have begun discussions with our partner universities on the development of a model curriculum on Economic Responsibility for middle school students. While methodology is proceeding completion of the project awaits specific funding.
