SOUTH FLORIDA SBEP  

The SBEP is designed for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, presidents and executive directors of small businesses. Graduates emerge with the skills and training needed to turn challenges into strategic advantage, capitalize on business opportunities and implement best practice management. Participants represent a variety of industries.

“Establishing a business is an extraordinary feat, but what happens next is equally challenging. Executives and entrepreneurs can truly benefit from our program by learning how to efficiently run operations and keep their organization alive and thriving for many years to come,” said Jennifer Kovach, director of the Jim Moran Institute’s South Florida Operations. “One of my favorite aspects of our program is also the networking that occurs among the participants. Hearing from others in their similar situations about their successes and struggles is a powerful resource.”

“By participating in this program, you will gain incredible insight, excellent peers, and have access to an extremely professional staff – all of which will have an immediate and lasting positive effect on your personal and business growth,” said Dhaima Lindo, CEO & Broker of Zenith Realty Group and a SBEP graduate.

The SBEP consists of nine sessions, each focusing on a specific aspect of growing and managing a business. Starting in July and running through November, the sessions are held once every two weeks from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Applicants must be actively involved in running their business, be the key decision-maker and their company must have been established for at least three years and have three or more employees (or volunteers if the company is a nonprofit). The program will be held at the Jim Moran Institute's office in Broward County.

Program graduates receive a certificate and have the opportunity to be a part of an ongoing peer roundtable. They are also encouraged to participate in workshops, conferences and other Jim Moran Institute events. Since 2009, the South Florida team has guided and graduated 39 classes through its executive programs.
