The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship in the Florida State University College of Business has extended its application deadline for its Small Business Executive Program (SBEP) and Nonprofit Executive Program (NPEP) until August 12. Offered at no cost to participants, the programs are funded by Jan Moran and The Jim Moran Foundation. Business leaders from the Tampa Bay region are encouraged to apply.
The programs consist of eight sessions, each focusing on a particular aspect of growing a business or nonprofit. Starting in August and running through December, the sessions will be held every other week from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Applicants must be actively involved in running a business, be key decision-makers and their companies must have been established for at least three years and have five or more employees (or volunteers if their company is a nonprofit).
The programs are designed for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, presidents and executive directors of small businesses and nonprofit organizations. Graduates emerge with the skills and training needed to capitalize on business opportunities, implement best practice management and turn challenges into strategic advantage. Participants represent a variety of industries, including construction, technology, healthcare, fashion and law.
“I encourage business and nonprofit leaders in St. Pete and across the Greater Tampa Bay region to invest in themselves and their organizations by applying for this unique, continued education experience,” said Shane Smith, director of the Jim Moran Institute’s Central Florida Operations. “Participants will learn how to take their organization to the next level and benefit from the real world experience and advice from others who have been in their place before.”
Program graduates receive a certificate and are encouraged to participate in workshops, conferences and other Jim Moran Institute events.

About the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship
The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship cultivates, trains and inspires entrepre-neurial leaders through world-class executive education, applied training, public recognition and leading-edge research.
Jim Moran was an automotive pioneer and an entrepreneur at heart, who at the age of seven, sold soda pop at sandlot baseball diamonds in Chicago. With a career that spanned more than six decades, he built an amazing chronicle of achievements in the automobile industry.
His vision for the Jim Moran Institute was to provide opportunities that would help others be-come more successful business owners. A 1995 contribution from Jim and Jan Moran and JM Family Enterprises established the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship at the Flor-ida State University College of Business. Since 2011, further enhancements to the Jim Moran Institute and its outreach have been made possible by Jan Moran and The Jim Moran Founda-tion.
