(MACON, Ga.) — NEWS: LBA Ware(TM), the leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lenders announced its fiscal sponsorship of the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce’s Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!), an innovative program that transforms local middle and high school students into real entrepreneurial successes.
YEA! is an after-school program that coaches students aged 11 to 18 through the process of launching a business or social movement over the course of the academic school year. During the program, students draft and formalize their business plans, make investor pitches to obtain funding, legally register their businesses and engage with successful entrepreneurs. The program culminates with the students launching self-owned and operated businesses, which they may continue to grow.
“LBA Ware is delighted to sponsor YEA! as it enters its third year,” said Lori Brewer, founder and CEO of LBA Ware. “As the founder of a successful software company launched from my living room, I want to pay my success forward by cultivating a future generation of entrepreneurs and CEOs within the local community. YEA! is an exciting program that empowers youth by helping them envision a future of their own making while equipping them with knowledge and skills that will help them achieve their goals.”
LBA Ware is a passionate contributor to organizations that support education, technology startups and entrepreneurship. As an active partner of the Georgia technology incubator, Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), LBA Ware recently joined efforts with SparkMacon to expand the ATDC’s reach into Macon by co-hosting an event for local tech companies and entrepreneurs each month at LBA Ware’s office.
