WASHINGTON, DC | November 20, 2012 – TAPE, an Inc. 500 | 5000 fastest-growing company,  participated as a gold sponsor of Babson College’s Entrepreneurship Forum held on November 9, at Babson College in Babson Park, Massachusetts.   The theme for this year’s 11^th annual event was “Celebrating Entrepreneurs of All Kinds.”  The forum’s interactive sessions, presented by a diverse group of entrepreneurs as well as business executives, highlighted the journeys, successes, and lessons learned of entrepreneurship.

“We painstakingly crafted each keynote event, panel and presentation to deliver a holistic view of entrepreneurship, sometimes in surprising and uncharacteristic ways,” said Sarah Cullem, Babson Entrepreneurship Forum Co-Chair. “I believe everyone who attended walked away learning something ”

“At TAPE, we want each employee to feel empowered to present a solution to our customer’s challenges, before they even realize one exists,” said TAPE CEO and President Louisa Jaffe.  “I grew up in a very entrepreneurial family and given my passion for entrepreneurship at TAPE, supporting this event at Babson just made sense.” Jaffe shared that she has been invited to speak at next year’s forum.  “I am delighted for TAPE to continue its support of this program.  I found it stimulating to be in the presence of so many Babson students who have either applied for U.S. Patents or plan to do so in the future,” she added.
