OXFORD — Entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs of all ages are invited to Entrepreneur Night on Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Oxford Academy High School Auditorium. This event will include presentations and Q&A with featured speakers Brad Treat and Dominick Recckio, following introductions by Otis Jennings and Steve Palmatier.

The presentation agenda first explores the question, “What makes a great startup business idea?” and continues with examples of successful business startups, including those launched in our area. Information about global trends, area resources, and next steps will also be offered.

This free, community-wide event is cosponsored by the Oxford Academy Central School District, Southern Tier Startup Alliance, Commerce Chenango, and Otselic Valley Central School District. These organizations are committed to sharing information and practical instruction for the benefit of our community.

“This event provides an opportunity for all members of our community to be part of something exciting. Good ideas are not exclusive to a particular segment of a community; they can come from any one of us,” said Oxford Superintendent Shawn Bissetta. “The Oxford Academy school community is involved in a variety of exciting initiatives that focus on the importance of innovative thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Entrepreneur Night is a perfect example of this movement. Anyone who enjoys sharing ideas and learning something new will benefit from attending. Our lineup of presenters ranges from seasoned entrepreneurs and educators to college students—this event truly offers something for everyone.”
