March 20, 2026

WELLSBORO – Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) is inviting area students and aspiring tradesmen and business leaders to his second annual Future Entrepreneur Summit on Thursday, April 16, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Lambs Creek Events, 200 Gateway Drive, Mansfield.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and the need for folks in the trades is only continuing to rise,” Owlett said. “After a successful inaugural summit last year, it was a natural choice to focus on the trades and the many opportunities they present for this year’s event. This is a great opportunity to learn from one another as we grow together.”

The event will include a light breakfast, panel discussions with a variety of local business owners, and opportunities to connect with community resources. Lunch will be provided, along with time for networking. 

The summit is open to students, new business owners or anyone interested in learning more about careers in the trades. There is no charge to participate, but registration is required. To sign up, visit Owlett’s website at RepOwlett.com/events or call the Wellsboro office at 570-724-1390. The deadline to register is Tuesday, March 31. 

The event is co-hosted by Develop Tioga, Northern Tier Regional Planning and Development Commission, Progress Authority, University of Scranton Small Business Development Center and Ben Franklin Technology partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Sponsors include Commonwealth University – Mansfield, National Federation of Independent Business, PA Chamber of Business and Industry, Pennsylvania College of Technology, and The Fund for Northern Tier Development.
