"As a community business bank, we are always looking to partner with and support organizations that encourage local economic growth and development," states Bill Del Biaggio, Founding Chairman & Executive Vice President of Heritage Bank. "The IEL is one of the most comprehensive entrepreneurial growth programs available today. Because the IEL provides on-going support, mentorship and resources to students, they are able to avoid many of the early pitfalls new business owners face. We are looking forward to working with JFK University on creating new programs and business practices that support sustained economic growth in Contra Costa County."
"One of the main goals of our program is to help take away the fear and inertia that often exists when people think about starting a business," stated Dr. Raul Deju, Director of IEL. "By providing the necessary training, mentoring and high-level connections we are able to help our students supplement the areas where they might not be as strong and give them the confidence they need to be successful. We are very grateful for Heritage's financial support in continuing this goal and look forward to working with them on creating a series of educational entrepreneurship and business workshops."
