Bard Center Alumna in the News

Last week Beth Polizzotto (Bard Center Program Coordinator) & Jung Park (Bard Center Alumnus & CEO of Metroboom) were invited by Patricia Kurgan to attend the annual Outstanding Women in Business Awards Luncheon hosted by the Denver Business Journal.

Patricia won the NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) Member of the Year award. There were a few articles linking back to the Denver Business Journal story on Patricia, but my favorite was this one “Bad Ass Women in the News - August 11.”

Patricia Kurgan is the President and owner of Astro Logistics, Inc., a freight arranger and green supply chain consulting company in Denver. Patricia earned her MBA from the University of Colorado Denver and her Certificate in Entrepreneurship from the Bard Center. She was a finalist in the 2005 Bard Center Business Plan Competition. She started her business in the Bard Center Incubator. Way to go!!!!

The next Bard Entrepreneurship Network (BEN) Meetup is Wednesday August 20 at Metroboom. Register now.

And finally, I’ve been waiting for him to introduce himself but Tom Murphy has recently stepped up as President of the Entrepreneurship Council giving Sharon Moulton a well deserved hiatus. Hopefully Tom & Sharon will both write something more formal soon. I know that the Entrepreneurship Council has some fun and exciting events planned for the coming months.
