Toward that goal\, CAE established the House and Senate Entrepreneurship Caucuses in 2019\, and has participated in the introduction of more than 20 pieces of innovation- and entrepreneurship-focused legislation. \n\n\n\nTo ensure that CAE stays in close touch with entrepreneurs and the issues and challenges that matter most to them\, CAE’s staff conducts regular roundtables with entrepreneurs across the country. Over the six years since CAE’s establishment in 2017\, CAE’s staff has conducted about 50 such roundtables. Sometimes the roundtables focus on general issues\, barriers\, and obstacles important to entrepreneurs\, while other roundtables focus on a specific area of interest that CAE wants to know more about and understand better. \n\n\n\nCAE’s founder and president John Dearie will be in Fort Worth on November 16th and wants to hear from you.  A 90-minute roundtable will be held at HSC Next at 2:30PM on November 16th\, co-hosted by Cameron Cushman\, Assistant Vice President for Innovation Ecosystems at HSC Next.
