Adjunct Researchers
The Entrepreneurial Leader Research Program has benefited from the support of a number of "Adjunct Researchers." To date, approximately 250 Christian entrepreneurs from Canada, the United States, Europe and Africa have been interviewed. Many of the Christian entrepreneurs have been interviewed by Richard J. Goossen and students under his direction. However, as we move forward, we are obtaining the support of more professors to assist in the research process. This section includes “Adjunct Researchers” who have interviewed Christian entrepreneurs as part of our research program. We are grateful for their support.
