Paul Shirley is a serial entrepreneur whose most recent company, Qynergy which he started in 2001, is developing compact batteries and micropower systems in Albuquerque, NM. Paul and his wife Wendy, both natives of Rochester, IN (population 6,414) recently returned home to take care of an aging parent. And, while they were home they decided to help change the town for the better.
The Shirleys set up Beyond the Boundaries, a not-for-profit effort to sponsor activities that enable job and wealth creation through life-long learning and entrepreneurial-focused business endeavors. They plan to start their efforts in the school system, but eventually involving the entire community.
Who is in your “brain bank” of individuals who grew up in your town? What are you doing to stay in touch with them? How are you getting them involved in bettering your town?
