Getting involved with NIED can be as easy as 1-2-3! 

1.      EDGE Access

The National Institute for Enterprise Development offers several specialized programs and services designed to address today’s small business enterprise development, growth and education needs.  You can also further your EDGE by participating in one of NIED’s seminars or other training sessions.  Finally, we host several events that present great opportunities for power networking. 

2.      Friends of NIED

The support of associations, corporations, foundations, and individual donors enables NIED to create opportunities for building wealth, finding employment, revitalizing communities and aspiring young people to take one more step toward realizing their dreams.  Although NIED is a nonprofit organization, we appreciate the value of our partnerships and dedicate ourselves to making a positive return on those investments through promoting dynamic advances in enterprise development, growth and education.

3.      Memberships

Our Member Network becomes the keystone to NIED’s work.  NIED provides local and regional chambers of commerce with solutions for serving their small business members, substantive content for conferences and seminars, plus market research and policy analysis to aid their larger members.  Our members in turn provide a vehicle for us to reach thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs] across the United States.  NIED also extends benefits to our members that they can in turn pass on to their members as part of an affinity program.  The NIED Membership Program works well for academic departments, business associations and students groups, too.  In the long run, we add value to the membership programs of our members, so that they can retain more of their members.
