| Hello and welcome to the second issue of the Marketplace Community Newsletter!
The purpose of the newsletter is to provide progressive educators
and business professionals with valuable information and materials
that enhance the utility of the online learning tools, competitions,
and business simulations that are our specialty. We want the Marketplace
Community Newsletter to be a clearinghouse for news, knowledge,
advice, data, and methods to make business and marketing skills
easier to teach and more fun to learn. If you have news, ideas,
or questions you’d like to share, please send
them to us.
