The School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) has been honored as one of the top 100 Small Business Influencers for 2011 by Small Business Trends, an award-winning online publication for small business owners, entrepreneurs and the people who interact with them.

The award, sponsored by BlackBerry, recognizes companies, organizations and people who have made a significant impact on the North American small business market.

Thomas Ulbrich, CEL executive director, accepted the award at the official Awards Gala held last month in New York City.

The CEL was recognized for promoting business growth through leadership development and experiential learning, enhancing the management abilities of business leaders and building new business relationships through an expanded network of contacts.

Other notable 2011 Small Business Influencer honorees include Microsoft, The New York Times, UPS, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business.
