DLE FOUNDER ENCOURAGES ENTREPRENEURS TO MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS

DLE President and Founder Linda Dulye served as a judge for new business owners completing the Berkshire Black Economic Council (BBEC)’s Interise Program for entrepreneurs at the Feb. 3rd Final Presentation Showcase.

Six program participants presented business plans for a variety of enterprises, gaining valuable feedback–from regional business leaders serving as judges–to help achieve their company’s growth plans. “Linda is wonderful to work with, and our entrepreneurs are continuing to rave about her. Thank you for being such an awesome partner,” shares BBEC Executive Director AJ Enchill.

In addition to reaching out to Linda with appreciation for her supportive feedback, participant Shadre Domingo (front row, second from left, standing next to Linda in the photo below) immediately and enthusiastically completed a free DLE membership application with the aim of improving his skills in storytelling. Shadre is the owner of Might Be Mad Creative Co., a brand management and creative services company specializing in entertainment, entrepreneurship, and travel.

Shadre was drawn to the DLE’s tight-knit community of professionals and looks forward to building new connections with them. “I’m interested in the DLE because growing my company will require not only leadership skills, but also a devoted community of supporters that can help me thrive personally and professionally,” he states.
