I volunteered as a Judge with Project ECHO at the 2015 Business Plan Competition, hosted at UCLA earlier this spring, and I was beyond impressed with the Business Plan presentations I had the opportunity to judge and evaluate.

ECHO makes the day very exciting for participants, parents and Judges alike! I found this to be an extremely rewarding experience for me, personally and I bet the confidence levels of the program participants goes through the roof after they experience Project ECHO!

I am looking forward to volunteering again next year!

I was very proud to sponsor a team of students to participate in the Project Echo entrepreneur academy. The students loved the program and especially participating in the business plan competition. What an exciting adventure it has been for them, and now they have caught the bug and really want to start their business. Thank you!
