EY US announces inaugural New York City cohort of entrepreneur program for Black and Latinx entrepreneurs

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announces the inaugural cohort of the Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN), a business accelerator and comprehensive, executive-level educational program designed to elevate scalable Black- and Latinx-owned companies through access to mentors, resources and networks.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announces the inaugural cohort of the Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN), a business accelerator and comprehensive, executive-level educational program designed to elevate scalable Black- and Latinx-owned companies through access to mentors, resources and networks. EAN offers a curated class-based learning program for emerging and established enterprises; an on-demand option with self-paced education is available to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs of all levels nationwide.

Building a better working world logo.

The inaugural cohort includes entrepreneurs across the US, including those based in the greater New York City area.

«New York City is home to more Black- and Latinx-owned businesses than anywhere else in the country,» said Ian Taylor, a partner with Ernst & Young LLP in the EY New York City office. «Although these diverse entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of our city, they are often underserved, hindering their growth. EAN will connect New York’s leading Black and Latinx founders with necessary resources, skills and knowledge so that they can scale their enterprises, realize their aspirations and invest in their communities.»

Approximately 1% of venture capital dollars go to Black and Latinx founders, despite the fact that minority-owned businesses produced approximately US$700b in revenue in 2019 alone. These figures illustrate the vast opportunity cost of not supporting these underserved entrepreneurs.

«Minority entrepreneurs receive so little support, even though they show immense revenue potential. But closing this gap requires more than capital alone,» said Nit Reeder, EY Entrepreneurs Access Network Program Director. «EAN is not a ‘fund and forget’ program. Our curriculum provides tools and access to an ecosystem.»

EAN’s 12-month curated program includes a company assessment, alignment with a dedicated EY relationship advisor, and a customized learning plan based on the needs and maturity of the company. Participants receive both tangible and intangible guidance, such as guidance in digital transformation, support in upskilling employees, and help developing boards and expanding professional networks.

Black and Latinx business owners who applied for the curated program were evaluated based on certain criteria and placed within «Emerging» and «OnDemand» categories. Black and Latinx entrepreneurs at all revenue, ownership and operational maturity levels can access the EAN resource library, an online resource offering self-paced learning, in mid-January.

Reeder added: «EAN builds on our organization’s current entrepreneurial programs, including 34 years of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ and 12 years of Entrepreneurial Winning Women. As we look to the year ahead, it’s more important than ever to support Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, linking them to the resources they need to thrive.»

Expats Unlock the #SecretsOfSuzhou Through Cultural & Arts Travel Recommendations

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — While international travel restrictions remain in place, travelers can get a head start planning the ultimate insiders’ trip to Suzhou using personal recommendations from China-based expats. Through the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism’s new <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — While international travel restrictions remain in place, travelers can get a head start planning the ultimate insiders’ trip to Suzhou using personal recommendations from China-based expats. Through the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism’s new #SecretsOfSuzhou Instagram campaign, foreigners based in China share their first-hand tips for making the most of a trip to Suzhou.

The campaign launched last month with a trip organized by Time Out Shanghai, that brought a group of 30 expats and travel enthusiasts to Suzhou where they explored historical sites like the Suzhou Museum of Inscribed Stone Tablets, took in traditional cultural performances in Suzhou’s classical gardens and on its romantic canals, experienced local life along Shantang Street, enjoyed the outdoors on a hike by Taihu Lake, and more. Several new weekend tour packages departing from Shanghai recently launched as a result of the trip which focus on Suzhou’s architecture and history.

Here are some of the recommendations from those who attended the trip and other foreigners who spend their days in the «City of Culture & Arts.»

Emily Axen, American living in Shanghai
Emily recently attended the nighttime cultural performance held in Master of the Nets Garden and reviews it as a great look into ancient life in Suzhou. She also shares, «I think going to museums with a guide is key. You get so much more information from a guide as a lot of the information is not written in English.»

Christian Wischnewski, German living in Suzhou
According to Chris, Suzhou has a great atmosphere with the perfect mix of history and modernity. He suggests getting out into Suzhou’s beautiful natural areas, including Mudu Old Town, Sanshan Island, and the water town of Tongli. As for a bite to eat? «I really like squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, with the sweet and sour sauce. It’s something really unique that I haven’t seen in more than 60 countries that I have visited until now,» he says.

Robyn Cronje, South African living in Shanghai (IG: @littlebitsofruby)
«Definitely visit the gardens and watch the Kunqu Opera. It is such a great way of storytelling that will leave you feeling like you have experienced a bit of China itself. The boat ride on the canals is also a must. It’s tranquil and really gives you the feeling that you’re in Venice!» Robyn says.

Yunus Emre, Turkish living in Shanghai
«I always enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Suzhou every time I’m there,» says Yunus. He describes the city as «culturally deep» and recommends that visitors take the time to enjoy the Suzhou’s historical side on any trip.

About Suzhou
For more than 2,500 years, Suzhou has been known as a center of arts and culture. Intellectuals, artists, and high profile public figures have long been drawn to the city’s romantic canals and stunning classical gardens, nine of which have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Performing arts including the Kunqu Opera and Pingtan storytelling originated in Suzhou, and the city is also important to the design and fashion worlds as a center for silk making and embroidery. In addition to its arts and culture, Suzhou is home to plentiful natural areas that allow for boundless outdoor activities. Visitors seeking Suzhou’s modern side will find five-star hotels, the iconic Lake Jinji, limitless shopping, and China’s largest overwater Ferris Wheel in the upscale and contemporary SIP District. Each year, millions of tourists travel to Suzhou to experience the destination’s more than 400 attractions, ranging from pagodas and temples to historical districts and world-class museums.

Suzhou is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. Suzhou is easily accessible via direct air service from North America and Europe to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG.) and is well connected with nearby cities including Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing by frequent high speed trains.

To ensure safety of the delivered vehicles, models are sanitized multiple times each day.

When combined with other features of the dealership website, providing delivery of test drives and purchased vehicles to locations of individuals’ choosing allows a large, perhaps entire, portion of the car-buying process to be completed online. The entire new and used inventories at Mountain View Hyundai can be conveniently perused through the dealership’s website. An array of filters is on hand to make sifting through the selections as easy as possible and allow individuals to find the vehicle that meets their unique needs.

In addition to browsing the inventory, customers can apply for financing and work with the financing team to develop a loan or lease plan that works for them. Of course, if customers wish to pay for the vehicle fully with cash, that is also possible. The dealership assures that they are remaining available digitally to assist shoppers with the purchase process or any general vehicle questions that they may have.

Those interested in taking advantage of remote test-drives and/or vehicle home delivery are encouraged to head to the Mountain View Hyundai website at http://www.mvhyundai.com. The dealership can also be contacted by phone through dialing 706-671-2581. Finally, those who wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines may visit the dealership location in-person at 7154 Nashville Street, Ringgold.

IHG Hotels & Resorts and Explore Georgia invite visitors to go beyond the headlines, Where True Hospitality meets Southern Hospitality

ATLANTA, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In 1960, the soulful, Georgia-born singer Ray Charles hit the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with the song «Georgia On My Mind.» To this day, that iconic tune is one of his most-loved recordings.

ATLANTA, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In 1960, the soulful, Georgia-born singer Ray Charles hit the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with the song «Georgia On My Mind.» To this day, that iconic tune is one of his most-loved recordings. Fast forward to present day, and Georgia, it seems, is on everyone’s mind. That’s why IHG Hotels & Resorts is teaming up with Explore Georgia, the tourism division of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, to promote that Georgia has much more to explore. Guests can book IHG’s Stay Longer and Save rate and save up to 20% when they stay three nights or more at select properties across the state through Feb. 28, 2021. With scenic mountains and tranquil beaches, big cities and small towns, places that shaped democracy and civil rights, majestic National Parks and State Parks, and Southern food that is good for the soul – it’s easy to see that there is so much more to Georgia than its peaches.

«We’re proud to call Georgia home to our U.S. headquarters and the thousands of our colleagues who work, live, and play here,» stated Brian Hicks, SVP, Americas Commercial & Revenue Management, IHG Hotels & Resorts. «We’ve partnered with Explore Georgia because we both share a deep passion for the vast experiences the Peach State has to offer, including the places and stories that don’t make the news but are so essential to the fabric of Georgia. Our company’s passion is delivering True Hospitality, and what better way to showcase that than in our own backyard.»

«We’re thrilled to partner with our friends at IHG Hotels & Resorts to showcase so many great places to stay in our state,» said Mark Jaronski, Deputy Commissioner of Tourism for the Georgia Department of Economic Development. «No matter where you call home, a safe, enjoyable escape to Georgia’s great cities, small towns, mountains, beaches, state and national parks is never far away.»

Peach State locations to stay and explore include:

Atlanta: The birthplace and home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Atlanta was the spiritual epicenter of the Civil Rights movement. Visit Dr. King’s childhood home and Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he preached his famous sermons. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights and the King Center are dedicated to the movement’s struggles and achievements. Crowne Plaza Midtown is close to all these sites, and rooms provide ample space for work and rest, while the Buckhead neighborhood is home to InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, a luxury flagship hotel. The recently renovated Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia is also close to all that Atlanta has to offer and just 20 minutes away in Roswell is Chattahoochee Nature Center and Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area – one of 11 stunning National Parks in Georgia. For a quieter, more distinct experience, drive 20 minutes north to Alpharetta and stay at the wellness-focused EVEN Hotel AlpharettaAvalon Area. View the trip planning guide to Atlanta here.

Savannah: Settled in 1773 by General James Oglethorpe, Savannah is Georgia’s first city, and there is no shortage of reasons to visit this quintessential southern locale. Visitors may recognize the majestic live oaks draped with Spanish moss and gothic architecture from popular movies, but the city’s beauty and rich legacy are worth experiencing in person. Book a guest room at the charming Kimpton Brice Hotel in Savannah’s Historic Landmark District, perfect for a scenic stroll along the Savannah River. View the trip planning guide to Savannah here.

Macon: With a thriving river economy that started with the indigenous community long before European settlers arrived, Macon is now a bustling city with many historical sites, eye-catching architecture, and a legendary music scene. It’s also home to Wesleyan College, the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. Stay just five minutes from the historic downtown at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Macon North. View the trip planning guide to Macon here.

Athens: Home to The University of Georgia and birthplace of iconic American music groups R.E.M. and The B-52s, Athens boasts historic homes, the 300-acre State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and nationally recognized craft breweries (Tropicália, anyone?). Although called «The Classic City,» there isn’t anything conventional about Athens, and to really get a feel for its neighborhoods, stay at Hotel Indigo Athens Downtown. View the trip planning guide to Athens here.

Augusta: Famous for hosting the annual Masters Tournament, Augusta was also the boyhood home of President Woodrow Wilson, who served as the 28th President of the United States. George Walton, the youngest signatory to sign the U.S. Declaration of Independence, was also from Augusta. Visit these historical home sites or the new mural of the Godfather of Soul, Augusta’s own James Brown, while staying at avid hotel Augusta W – Grovetown, one of IHG’s newest hotel brands.

EY US anuncia en Nueva York el grupo inaugural del programa empresarial para emprendedores afroamericanos y latinos

La Red de acceso para emprendedores apoyará a los emprendedores afroamericanos y latinos en Nueva York para que desarrollen aún más sus empresas y reinviertan en sus comunidades

NUEVA YORK, 14 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) anunció hoy el grupo inaugural de la Red de Acceso para Emprendedores (EAN), un programa educativo integral, de nivel ejecutivo y de aceleración de negocios diseñado para…

La Red de acceso para emprendedores apoyará a los emprendedores afroamericanos y latinos en Nueva York para que desarrollen aún más sus empresas y reinviertan en sus comunidades

NUEVA YORK, 14 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) anunció hoy el grupo inaugural de la Red de Acceso para Emprendedores (EAN), un programa educativo integral, de nivel ejecutivo y de aceleración de negocios diseñado para dar impulso a las empresas escalables de propietarios afroamericanos y latinos a través del acceso a mentores, recursos y redes. EAN ofrece un programa de aprendizaje selecto y basado en clases para empresas emergentes y establecidas; además, se encuentra disponible una opción a pedido con educación a ritmo propio para los emprendedores afroamericanos o latinos de todos los niveles a nivel nacional.

El grupo inaugural está conformado por emprendedores de todo los Estados Unidos, entre los que se incluyen aquellos radicados en el área metropolitana de Nueva York.

«Nueva York es cuna de más empresas de propietarios afroamericanos y latinos que cualquier otro lugar del país», señaló Ian Taylor, socio de Ernst & Young LLP de la oficina de EY en Nueva York. «Aunque estos emprendedores diversos son el alma de nuestra sociedad, frecuentemente no son atendidos como es debido, y esto pone trabas a su crecimiento. EAN conectará a los principales fundadores afroamericanos y latinos de Nueva York con los recursos, habilidades y conocimientos necesarios que les permitan desarrollar sus empresas, hacer realidad sus aspiraciones e invertir en sus comunidades».

Aproximadamente, el 1 % del capital de riesgo se destina a los fundadores afroamericanos y latinos, a pesar de que las empresas de propiedad de grupos minoritarios produjeran alrededor de US$ 700 mil millones de ingresos solo en 2019. Estas cifras representan el enorme costo de oportunidad por no apoyar a estos emprendedores desatendidos.

«Los emprendedores de grupos minoritarios reciben muy poco apoyo, aunque muestren un inmenso potencial de generación de ingresos. Pero para cerrar esta brecha se requiere más que solo capital», explicó Nit Reeder, directora del Programa de Red de Acceso para Emprendedores de EY. «EAN no es un programa que «financia y luego olvida». Nuestro programa ofrece herramientas y acceso a un ecosistema».

El programa selecto de 12 meses de EAN incluye una evaluación de la empresa, su adecuación con un asesor exclusivo para la relación con EY y un plan de aprendizaje personalizado basado en las necesidades y la madurez de la empresa. Los participantes reciben orientación tangible e intangible, como lineamientos en transformación digital, apoyo para mejorar las habilidades de los empleados y ayuda para desarrollar consejos directivos y ampliar las redes profesionales.

Los empresarios afroamericanos y latinos que solicitaron el programa seleccionado fueron evaluados en función de determinados criterios y se les clasificó dentro de las categorías «Emergente» y «A pedido». A partir de mediados de enero, los empresarios afroamericanos y latinos de todos los niveles de ingresos, titularidad y madurez operativa pueden acceder a la biblioteca de recursos de EAN, una oferta de recursos en línea para el aprendizaje a ritmo propio.

Reeder agregó: «EAN se basa en los programas empresariales actuales de nuestra organización, entre los que se incluyen 34 años de EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ y 12 años de Entrepreneurial Winning Women. De cara al próximo año, es más importante que nunca ayudar a los emprendedores afroamericanos y latinos al vincularlos con los recursos que necesitan para tener éxito».
