Electronic Dues Collection Business Wins Babson Undergraduate Business Plan Competition
Newswise - EasyDues, which provides Web-based dues collection software for fraternities, sororities, and social organizations, took top honors in the 2009 Babson College Undergraduate Business Plan Competition.
The John H. Muller Jr. Business Plan Prizes Competition honors an undergraduate individual or team with $5,000 for developing the best business plan in an entrepreneurial venture, $2,500 to the first runner-up, and $1,000 to the second runner-up. Established through the generosity of former Babson president William F. Glavin, and his wife, Cecily M. Glavin, the Muller Prize honors the entrepreneurial accomplishments of John H. Muller Jr., founder and former chairman of General Housewares Corporation and chairman of the Babson College Board of Trustees from 1989 to 1997. Business plans are evaluated by alumni volunteers from throughout the world, and then finalists make their presentations to an independent panel of judges.
The Babson College 2009 Business Plan Competitions were held during the school's "Celebrating Student Venturing" day. Babson founded the very first college business plan competition in 1984 and today awards are almost $100,000 in cash and services in kind.
