On This Day In History - March 11th
|
1918
Hundreds of soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas, are sick with a virulent form of influenza, prompting the first reporting of
the epidemic. The flu will go on to infect some 500 million people and kill between 50 million and 100 million, according to most estimates.
|
1985
Mikhail Gorbachev is chosen to succeed Konstantin Chernenko as the General Secretary of the Communist Party and de facto leader of the USSR. He will usher in '
glasnost' (transparency) and '
perestroika' (restructuring), ultimately serving as the Soviet Union's final leader before its dissolution.
|
1989
Responding to a writer's strike, TV producers look for unscripted fare to fill timeslots, and it pays off as the Fox network debuts '
Cops.' Great ratings, and a seemingly unending reality TV craze, will follow.

Services Cooperative Association
Market Expansion ~ Business Development
Entrepreneurial Education ~ Professional Growth
Since 1983!
|
A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of small business development conducted by the
Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.
With our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, to date we've worked with 65,638
people, generating 45,010 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues exceeding one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator and co-working space, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the country with residency space and the Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions.
Our Entrepreneurial Research Division conclusively demonstrated "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally,
commencing entrepreneurial courses.
Here are some of the organizations we've worked with.
We grow companies, build careers and advance ideas.
Among our projects for 2020:
We're asking our government to please stop tax-payer
funding of
those Small Business Development Centers across
the U.S. which
knowingly compete
with tax-paying businesses.
Should you have a business that has been negatively impacted by
SBDC competition let us know.
