AEO Training Manual: Rural Microenterprise Development Organizations

The Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO) offers a training manual, Rural Microenterprise Development Organizations: A Catalyst for Stimulating Entrepreneurship in Rural America.

(Thanks to the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship http://www.ruraleship.org for passing this along.- Russ)

This manual challenges rural microenterprise development organizations (MDOs) to move beyond a single purpose orientation to view the entire community and its economic development as part of their mission.

The purpose of this manual is to encourage rural MDOs to utilize a more holistic approach in their business development work. It contains several examples of programs that have taken a proactive role in their communities and are active catalysts for changing the entire entrepreneurial culture.

The manual can be order through http://www.microenterpriseworks.org/links/bookstore/tm-list.htm or contacting Kamasha Hendrickson at [email protected] or 703-841-7760 x26.
