A short article in today's News & Observer (click here for the article) reports changes at the Council for Entrepreneurial Development.   Some organizational changes that include a lay-off of 30% of the staff to "balance revenue and expenses" and a renewed focus on its core mission.  The changes are part of a larger "evolution" that will unfold in the coming months. Its obviously unfortunate for the people being laid off, but staying focused is necessary in business for uncompromised decisions.   We'll keep watching the changes at the CED-NC as they develop. Happy 4th of July everyone! - marc
