Board

Advisory Board Members, Illinois Entrepreneruship Center (IEN)
at Rock Valley College

Rock Valley College’s Procurement and Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), Rock River Valley Entrepreneurship Center (RRVEC) and Small Business Development Center (SBDC) all located at the EIGERlab, have joined forces to create a new Advisory Board of Directors.

The new board will be comprised of strategic partners and community leaders with a common vision and interest delivering quality services to entrepreneurs of all types and at all levels (start-ups, early stage growth, existing businesses with need, etc.). The Advisory Board of Directors have been selected because they or their organization have shown commitment to the development of entrepreneurship in the Region and we believe the RVC Business Outreach Programs can mutually benefit from their participation.
