CED Staff Updates CED welcomes Bill Spruill to the CED staff as program coordinator. Bill coordinates the CED roundtables and monthly programs, and the Biotech '98 conference. CED's FastTrac program, coordinated by Suzanne Cantando, won an award for Outstanding Imple-mentation and Growth of the FastTrac program at the national FastTrac Conference in Denver in October. The companies are selected from monthly, closed-door meetings in which young companies present their business plans before a panel of seasoned entrepreneurs, investors and business experts. The best of these companies will present their business plans and funding needs at a quarterly luncheon to an audience of venture capitalists, private investors and others involved in the entrepreneurial funding process.
