The 2014 Northeast Trade Show and Business Plan Competition took place on December 12, 2014 at the University of Rochester, bringing together VEI firms and students from around upstate New York. EnviroScentals from Mount St. Mary Academy in Kenmore, NY will advance to the 2015 National Business Plan Competition, with the hopes that their business plan smells as good as the mood-enhancing scents their firm produces.
