We will break into three groups with the entrepreneurs, discussing specific topics and their specialties. Some of the topics will include "what advice do you have for budding entrepreneurs in NE Ohio? Cleveland is experiencing a renaissance and has, in many ways, become an incubator city. How does it feel to be a part of this rebirth and what perks has this aspect of the community provided? What has been the most unexpected challenge in starting and maintaining your business?"

The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club is honored to host Alec McClennan - Founder of Good Nature Organic Lawn Care, Roger S. Zomato - CEO/Founder of TPI Efficiency, and Mike Maczuala - CEO/Founder of SmartShape - a product dashing & innovation firm. These Cleveland business leaders are either the founder, co-founder, owner or controlling shareholder of a company that grosses US$1 million in sales.
