The Sheltowee Christian Entrepreneurs is a Community Portal that provides resources and information for Christian entrepreneurs.  In Timoty 3:14 it says: "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived".  We see this more and more each day.  So many individuals and organizations are telling us that our belief in our Saviour and moral framework is flawed.  These voices are becoming louder and more militant.  This Community is here to provide resources, inspiration and help for Christian brothers and sisters who have chosen to walk the entrepreneurial path.  

We invite all Christian brothers and sisters to join us in our efforts to help entrepreneurs build their businesses.  We will work together to build businesses that help humanity, and reflect the love of Christ at the same time.  The Sheltowee Christian Entrepreneurs Community Portal is supported by Sheltowee LLC.  

Romans 12:6-8 "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."

The Louisville Healthcare CEO Council (LHCC) was formed in 2017 to leverage the strengths and assets of its members to solve important problems that extend beyond the scope of any one single member company. LHCC board members include CEOs from Kindred, Humana, Trilogy Health Services, Norton Healthcare, Hosparus Health, Anthem, Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Signature Healthcare, Galen College of Nursing, Baptist Healthcare System, and BrightSpring Health Services. These companies are the titans in the industry, collectively representing over 450,000 employees, $120 billion in revenue and 80 million lives touched. 

Capital Connections at the Optimize 2022 conference is where investors and entrepreneurs have the opportunity to connect and meet.  As the world leading aging innovation discovery group, Aging2.0 is assembling world class investors and innovators in Louisville, KY during the Optimize 2022 conference.  Investors will have the opportunity to meet other investors who are helping to grow amazing companies that provide tremendous financial opportunities, but also have a major societal impact.  This will help promote the syndication of investments between these various investors.  Innovations are becoming more important every day as the aging population requires more and more resources.  Capital Connections will also connect investors with innovators who are directly addressing the challenges associated with our aging population.  

Founded in 2012 by Katy Fike and Stephen Johnston, Aging2.0 strives to accelerate innovation to address the biggest challenges and opportunities in aging. Aging2.0’s international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational community has grown to 40k+ innovators across 31 countries. Aging2.0 was acquired by CEOc (formerly Louisville Healthcare CEO Council) in 2022 moving the headquarters from San Francisco, CA to Louisville, KY. This acquisition is exciting as it broadens the resources, network, and engagement.

Our volunteer-run chapter network, which spans over 130 cities, has hosted more than 1,000+ events around the world.

At the heart of MSU's Department of Physics, Earth Science and Space Systems Engineering is the Ronald G. Eaglin Space Science Center (SSC). The facility houses state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories that will give you valuable hands-on learning experiences. The Space Science Center is home to MSU's Program of Distinction, the Bachelor of Science in Space Systems Engineering.

MSU's Space Science Center was recently named the best aerospace research and development center in Kentucky by Southern Business and Development magazine, beating out research and development programs at Eastern Kentucky University, the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville.

The SSC has become an important center for research in nanosatellite technologies. CubeSats are "loaf of bread" or smaller-sized nanosatellites that have become the defacto world-wide standard for small satellite technologies. CubeSats are 10 x 10 x 10 cm (or by 20 or 30 cm in length) satellites that weigh under 1 kg per unit. The recent evolution of micro/nanotechnologies and microelectronics has facilitated the development of these inexpensive, highly capable small satellites that are now being flown by NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, aerospace companies and universities around the globe. CubeSats, including those developed at the SSC, are used for a wide variety of applications ranging from tactical defense to scientific research (including astrophysics research and Earth phenomena and resource monitoring) to practical applications ranging from communications to relaying data from ground sensors. CubeSats are considered "disruptive technology" by the world-wide aerospace industry because they can provide some of the same services as conventional satellites at a fraction of the cost and with short development times - and MSU is at the forefront of this emerging technology.
