Teams of educators, including a business educator, core curriculum instructor, and site administrator, selected from eighteen schools around the state participated in the  Summer Institute, August 4-7, 1998, at Lake Arrowhead Resort. Mary Dietz a national consultant, assisted by staff from the California Department of Education, worked with the teams to explore the vision and develop new delivery systems for business in education. Presenters provided information during  "strategy sessions", these included: Jim Miles, a Master Teacher from New York State, who is part of the International Center for Leadership in Education; Joe Baker, and a team of teachers from the San Francisco Unified School District's Business and Finance  Academy; and Iris Blanc, Director of the Virtual Enterprise Center, New York City. Teams developed an action plan to take back to their school's and implement during the coming year.
