Evan Carmichael and Marilyn Bromberg are both young entrepreneurs with a wealth of experience that they would like to share with you! Ask them entrepreneurship-related questions on TIG's discussion boards, and they will respond. Although Evan and Marilyn intend to be helpful, they are not experts on entrepreneurship. You may also want to seek council or advice from family, teachers, other entrepreneurs and experienced businesspeople.

Evan Carmichael is the co-founder of Max The Intern, a software company that helps its users strengthen relationships with their clients, prospects, and centres of influence. He is also founder of Evan Carmichael & Associates, an organization dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build the companies of their dreams!

Marilyn Bromberg is the Human Resources and Communications Coordinator at TakingITGlobal. Prior to TIG, she ran her own internet magazine, On The Wall, for three years. Marilyn began On The Wall when she found that her peers had trouble obtaining experience in their chosen career fields. Also, her peers did not feel that they had sufficient outlets to write about controversial issues. On The Wall grew to have over thirty volunteers and four part-time paid staff.

The YES campaign was born out of a commitment to see that all young adults, especially youth facing poverty, have productive, decent and sustainable employment.

"Entrepreneurs, whether they are working in the villages or in the capital markets, are the visionaries who generate livelihoods for themselves and for others. We need to encourage, nurture and support their quest for the new and the untried."
