Entrepreneur Organization Learns from U.S. Marine Leaders

Thursday, March 1, 2007

Camp Pendleton, CA - Entrepreneurs from throughout Southern California will trade their business suits for military fatigues in a Feb. 21 joint operation between The Entrepreneur Organization and Camp Pendleton.

The San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles chapters of The Entrepreneur Organization will attend the day-long event designed to teach military leadership principles to business leaders. Survival courses, exercises and tours will give men and women first-hand experiences in the day of the life of a U.S. Marine to understanding strategies to impact their business environments.

Shaun Alger, CEO/COO of MyOffice and President of the San Diego Chapter, worked with Marine Corps leaders to organize what he describes as “a once in a lifetime opportunity.” “The purpose of this event is to educate our members who run local companies in the strategies that our military leaders use to manage people, organize process and maximize resources,” says Alger. “It's incredible to see what they are able to accomplish, and learn how we can make our businesses better, faster, more competitive.”

Major Gen. John M. Paxton Jr. will present a keynote address to the attendees during an evening dinner and recognition ceremony. Paxton assumed duties as the commanding general of the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton in August 2006.
