MITEF Link Newsletter

A quarterly publication with a simple mission: to connect and inspire members of the MITEF community and celebrate our core values. Our inaugural issue around Entrepreneurship talks to influential business leaders about the value, meaning and purpose of being an entrepreneur. We hope that the MITEF of Texas members enjoy this first issue as much as we did!
