SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council was first chartered on November

innovation and entrepreneurship in the United States. NACIE's 
overarching focus is recommending transformational policies to the

workforce become more globally competitive. The Council operates as an

Development Administration. NACIE members are a diverse and dynamic 
group of successful entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors, as well
