I think a better investment in Iowa's future would be in promoting entrepreneurs and getting venture capital. For years, Iowa has been bragging about our education system but our best students leave the state. The program is locally driven, says Zacharakis-Jutz, and communities can offer it any way they want. The local community forms a steering committee and works with Zacharakis-Jutz s office on recruitment, getting sponsors, sending news releases and working out camp details. The sponsors are out there.
Local banks are worried about keeping customers.
Entrepreneurship fits very well with the way we are.
