The Chairmen’s RoundTable Forms Alliance with SDSU’s Entrepreneurial Management Center

The Chairmen’s RoundTable (CRT), a San Diego-based, non-profit volunteer organization that provides gratis mentoring and business advice to CEOs and presidents of local, private businesses, announced a formal alliance with San Diego State University’s Entrepreneurial Management Center (EMC). The EMC’s goal is to provide the educational programs and experiential opportunities that are necessary to nurture, instill, and foster successful entrepreneurship.

The CRT and EMC have agreed to actively cross-promote each other’s activities and resources to provide local entrepreneurs access to the extensive experience and expertise that both organizations have to offer. “This is a natural partnership because the missions of the CRT and EMC are so closely aligned,” said Hus Tigli, Chairman of the CRT. “CRT’s mentorship program is a complementary extension to the work that is being fostered at the EMC. Likewise, many companies that come to the CRT for executive mentoring can also benefit from the education, training and on-going assistance that is available through the EMC.”

“The EMC supports entrepreneurial companies of all sizes and in all stages of development, through a suite of programs that offer business education, networking opportunities, professional development, intern placement, and more,” said Sanford B. Ehrlich, Ph.D., QUALCOMM Executive Director of Entrepreneurship, San Diego State University EMC. “The alliance with the CRT expands our executive bandwidth so that we can more readily offer mentorship to the growing number of businesses that come to the EMC for guidance and support.”
