This event is free and open to the public.
According to Greene, being entrepreneurial requires a mindset and skill set that combines deciding what you want to do (aspirations), developing the practices to build what you want to build (behaviors), and gaining the self-¬confidence to know you can accomplish your vision (confidence).

Greene?s current assignment at Babson is to serve as the academic director for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and 10,000 Women programs. She is a founding member of the Diana Project, a research group dedicated to studying women business owners and their businesses. She is a former federal appointee to the national advisory board for the SBA?s Small Business Development Centers.
Her passion is talking about entrepreneurship, sharing her ?soapboxes on changing the way the world does business? with anyone who will listen. Greene?s latest entrepreneurial endeavor is as a co-owner of Artworks, a specialty store in Gettysburg, PA. Her first exposure to entrepreneurship was working in a small business, Adams and Bright Drug Store, in her hometown, Hamburg, PA.
