Who is our Speaker?
Julienne (Julie) Shields is the President and CEO of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE) and started in that role in March of 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. Since that time, she facilitated the transition of the board from an operating board to a governing board, shepherded the organization from its traditional in-person conference to its first virtual conference, and invested in digital and virtual competencies and platforms to prepare for hybrid and additional virtual events in the future.
Prior to this role, she was the Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at Millikin University and an entrepreneur in her own right launching a tech startup out of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign?s EnterpriseWorks incubator.
When she is not focusing her efforts on USASBE's mission of advancing entrepreneurship education through bold teaching, scholarship, and practice, she raises her four children and operates a Welsh pony conservation program with her husband.Not a Chamber Member?
