About Us
The Entrepreneurship Council is a grass-roots education and advocacy group for entrepreneurs. It has worked in creative partnership with other organizations with overlapping interests, notably the Mixson Business Center, Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, City of Dothan, Wallace Community College, and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Innovation at Troy University. The organization began in 2010 as the Entrepreneurship Group, one of several focus groups of the annual Economic Summit on Jobs, spearheaded by Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz. Since 2014, the Entrepreneurship Council has operated autonomously, regularly coordinating entrepreneurial education and hosting networking events in the community.

Entrepreneurship Council Presents
“Strategizing a Successful Business Plan”
Thursday, March 26, 2026 • 5:30 P.M.
at the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce
102 Jamestown Blvd. | Dothan, AL 36303
Business plan templates abound online, to keep you from overlooking critical functions and to walk you through the thought process. However, drafting a business plan is more than just a matter of filling in the blanks on a form. In deciding how to address each function, you also need to strategize. This means positioning your business to succeed based on proven economic principles and using those insights to guide how you approach your decisions for each function. In this way, you can plan on growth over time rather than sinking into the process swamp. This workshop aims to prepare you for this.
Everyone is invited to this event, you will also be able to ask questions and network with fellow business owners and those interested in starting a business. Admission is FREE, but we ask for a donation of $10. Money will help the Entrepreneurship Council provide events like this in the community and help with other projects/programs provided by the Entrepreneurship Council. The Entrepreneurship Council is a 501 (c) 3 Organization.
This event is sponsored by Computer Printing Etc., and Troy University Dothan Campus Sorrell College of Business.
