California Business Minute™

Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the
Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, will kick off the U.S. observance of the inaugural
Global Entrepreneurship Week at the Governor's Conference on Small Business &
Entrepreneurship, to be held on November 18 – 19 in Los Angeles.

Global Entrepreneurship Week, Nov. 17 - 23, will feature hundreds of youth-oriented
activities in more than 75 participating countries. The Week is designed to connect
millions of young people to each other and to educators, entrepreneurs, non-profit
leaders and others via social networking as well as face-to-face encounters.

Global Entrepreneurship Week is co-founded by the Kauffman Foundation in the United
States and Make Your Mark in the United Kingdom. The two organizations are spearheading
this global effort to stimulate entrepreneurial activity by the world's youth, because the fresh
thinking of a new generation is vital to reversing the current global economic malaise.

I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
