BUSINESS PLAN CONTEST

December 2009

Three Brown County High School students won awards for their development of business plans.  Pictured are winners, from left, Serena Braden (second place), James Mullen (first place) and Andrew Hensel (third place) along with their business teacher, Vince McCann.

 The students participated in an Entrepreneurial Business Challenge coordinated and judged by Rotarians and members of the Brown County Economic Commission with assistance by Mr. McCann.

 James Mullen, a freshman, won a first-place award of $150 for his outdoor gaming plan; Serena Braden, a senior, $100 for her salon ideas and Andrew Hensel, a sophomore, $50 for his cafe plan.

 Rotarian and mentor of students, Evan Werling explained that grammar, logic, and presenting a practical and potentially viable start-up plan were key criteria for developing the plans.

Funding for the awards came from the Brown county Economic Planning Commission, represented at the Rotary Club awards presentation by Suzannah Zody and William Freeman.   Mary Wood, chair of Rotary's vocational service committee, and committee members Carolyn Pitt, Sue Ann Werling and Mr. Freeman judged student entries.
