2007 FREE ENTERPRISE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE

 

The U.S. Embassy in Argentina, with the assistance of Junior Achievement, is sponsoring the participation of three Argentine students in the Free Enterprise Leadership Challenge (FELC), to be held at The Jesse Helms Center in Wingate, North Carolina. The FELC program is an effective way to promote students' understanding of business, personal responsibility, and the opportunities available to them in a free enterprise system. During their week-long stay, students interact with prominent community and business leaders who share success stories and answer students' questions about their careers. The program’s goal is to foster business and community leaders who are actively involved in creating jobs and developing human resources.

The selected participants are: Gabriela Ferreiro from Vicente Lopez, Prov. de Buenos Aires; Georgina Petrussa from Córdoba, and María Fernanda Sosa from Santiago del Estero.
