Applications Open Through Sept. 30, 2018
The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, which is part of Florida State University’s College of Business, is accepting applications for its Small Business Executive Program (SBEP) and Nonprofit Executive Program (NPEP) Spring 2019 classes in Broward and Palm Beach County. All applications are due September 30, 2018.
“After years of running a nonprofit, I went through the program and it was like someone shook me and said, ‘lady, you’re doing it wrong’,” said Dr. Barbara Weinstein, president and CEO of Family Central, Inc. and a Spring 2016 graduate. “I learned the way we were operating was old fashioned. We weren’t thinking like a business. After implementing everything I learned, Family Central was recently recognized as one of the top 10 best women run businesses in the state of Florida.”
The Jim Moran Institute offers its Spring SBEP in both Broward and Palm Beach Counties as well as the NPEP in Broward. The Spring 2019 Programs commence in January and run through May, featuring nine sessions that each focus on a particular aspect of growing a business or nonprofit.
The SBEP and NPEP are ideal for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, presidents and executive directors of small businesses and nonprofit organizations. Graduates emerge with the skills and training needed to capitalize on business opportunities, implement best practice management, and turn challenges into strategic advantage. SBEP and NPEP participants represent a variety of industries, including construction, technology, healthcare, fashion and law. Thanks to Jim and Jan Moran and the Jim Moran Foundation, these programs are offered at no cost to the accepted participants.
“Business and nonprofit executives who have already started a company but are looking to take their business to the next level should consider applying for these amazing, no cost-programs,” said Jennifer Kovach, director of the Jim Moran Institute’s South Florida Operations. “Each year we enjoy watching our program participants achieve personal and professional growth as they learn from others who have been in their shoes before.”
Those interested in applying for the program should visit jmi.fsu.edu and click on “Programs” to apply. Applicants must be actively involved in running a business and be a key decision maker. Companies must have been established for at least five years with five or more employees. These programs are offered twice a year.
Graduates of each program receive a certificate, are afforded the opportunity to be a part of a peer roundtable, and are regularly invited to workshops, conferences and other Jim Moran Institute events.

About the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship
The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship cultivates, trains and inspires entrepreneurial leaders through world-class executive education, applied training, public recognition and leading-edge research.
Jim Moran was an automotive pioneer and an entrepreneur at heart, who at the age of seven, sold soda pop at sandlot baseball diamonds in Chicago. With a career that spanned more than six decades, he built an amazing chronicle of achievements in the automobile industry.
His vision for the Jim Moran Institute was to provide opportunities that would help others become more successful business owners. A 1995 contribution from Jim and Jan Moran and JM Family Enterprises established the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship at the Florida State University College of Business. Since 2011, further enhancements to the Jim Moran Institute and its outreach have been made possible by Jan Moran and The Jim Moran Foundation.
