 Editor's Note
 Great Minds, Great Mentors
Since the last newsletter, Boulder 2140 hosted a career panel about finding your passion and Doug Emerson of University Bicycles shared his 'entrepreneurial commandments' over lunch at B.J.'s Resturant.
It's been advantageous to learn from the experiences of successful business mentors in our community. If you haven't yet attended the Professional Development Breakfast/Lunch Series, consider joining us for the January lunch to connect with the owner of Boulder's Best Organics™.
Cheers to the holiday season,
