Al Osborne, senior associate dean of UCLA Anderson, professor of Global Economics & Management and founder and faculty director of the Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, was a featured speaker at this year’s National Conference on Business Development in Underserved Communities. The program, hosted by the Foster Business and Economic Development Center at the University of Washington, seeks to help business schools engage “their students with businesses in low- and moderate-income communities and their faculty with minority- and women-owned businesses.”
The event focuses on opportunities for faculty and staff who run programs and/or centers focused on helping underserved communities to network and learn from likeminded colleagues. Specifically, the conference hopes to facilitate sharing of “best practices in curriculum design, student evaluation and small business impact,” as well as identifying research opportunities and possible avenues for executive education.
