Press Release
 FMS Participates with Virginia Governor's Declaration of 2012
as the Year of the Entrepreneur
FMS Founder Stands with Governor Bob McDonnell and
Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling for the Announcement
Richmond, VA – (February 22, 2012) FMS founder and president, Luke
Chung, was invited by the governor to participate in his proclamation
of 2012 as the Year of the
Entrepreneur.
Mr. Chung stood behind Governor Bob McDonnell and Lieutenant Governor
Bill Bolling during the press conference and participated in a
day-long event supporting entrepreneurship, small businesses, and job
creation across the Commonwealth.
Commerce Secretary James Cheng led the events. Participants were
able to hear from successful Virginia business founders and learn from
each other through a luncheon and Entrepreneurial Town Hall. Examples
of agricultural, technology, manufacturing, and craft businesses
showed the diversity of Virginia firms offering products and services
for in-state, national and international customers. It was also
interesting to trace the roots of the founding of Virginia in 1607 as
a high-risk entrepreneurial enterprise that eventually led to success
after many failures.
All parties recognized the value and responsibility of seasoned
entrepreneurs helping newer entrepreneurs, and how fundamental this
was to the success of our state and nation. Activities will occur
around the Commonwealth over the year where government representatives
and entrepreneurs share their ideas, experiences, and resources.
Already recognized as one of the most business friendly states in the
country with one of the lowest unemployment rates, Virginia continues
to foster business success in a bipartisan manner.
Noteworthy was the inclusion of Education Secretary Laura Fornash
in the activities stressing the importance of public education as part
of a healthy business climate. This includes having great K-12
education and the many higher education institutions across Virginia.
Those institutions attract bright students from outside Virginia,
create entrepreneurial opportunities around them, and give us the
ability to keep them in Virginia for life. FMS and Luke Chung are
honored to be a part of this initiative.
