University Of Alaska Anchorage: TODAY: Join Us For The CBPP Business Plan Competition Kick-Off

Press release from the University of Alaska Anchorage:

November 19, 2021

What’s the recipe for cooking up a perfect business plan? Along with essential ingredients,
it takes time and practice. UAA students, community members, and Tom Case Leadership
Fellows Academy scholars can get that practice during the 2022 College of Business
and Public Policy (CBPP) Business Plan Competition. This is an opportunity to craft
a business plan as an individual or team and get feedback and inspiration from judges
and experienced entrepreneurs.

The CBPP Business Plan Competition consists of a series of events between November
2021 and April 2022. The first event is on online kick-off on Friday, Nov. 19, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. Participants will learn about competition categories, dates, guidelines and prizes.
They will meet the judges and hear from James Strong, a 2006 CBPP graduate. Strong
owns Sweet Caribou, which just celebrated five years of treating Anchorage to artisan
macarons, lunch bowls and gourmet desserts. He will share his experience as an entrepreneur,
including how Sweet Caribou has weathered the pandemic. Participants will have a chance
to win door prizes, including Sweet Caribou macarons.
