This free event will feature keynote speaker Michele Neff Hernandez, CEO and Founder of Soaring Spirits International. In 2008, Michele’s life tragically changed forever.

Who should attend?
- Entrepreneurs interested in starting a nonprofit;
- Existing nonprofits looking to grow and expand their services/reach; and
- Everyone interested in starting a business now or in the future.
“Michele is a non-profit juggernaut, not to mention a local hero,” said Anthony Angelini, local government representative on the YES Advisory Board and a member of Startup Simi. Angelini continued, “Hearing her discuss her business journey in a Q&A format should be a requirement for any entrepreneur or aspiring entrepreneur.”
