Council for Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The CEI board acts primarily in an advisory capacity for the benefit of the Bloch School and its entrepreneurship programs, including the Regnier Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (IEI) and KCSourceLink. The CEI board celebrates entrepreneurship each year by planning the Entrepreneur of the Year event which attracts internationally known entrepreneurs to Kansas City, such as Kate Spade, Malcom Forbes, Meg Whitman and Ted Turner.
