Each of our panelists will first take a couple of minutes to tell us about the focus of their organization and what their current situation is. Then our moderator, Gary Rosensteel, Executive Director of Help Startups, will ask each to comment on their vision for the future of their organizations and how they see the southwestern PA entrepreneurial community advancing.
