About D.R.E.

The Disciplined Respected Entrepreneurs Program (D.R.E.) was created to bring together the best and brightest African-American college students and recent graduates specifically interested in business ownership through joint ventures and partnerships. D.R.E. is a youth development program under the umbrella of the Black Sports Agents Association (BSAA), an international organization made up of the most talented agents, athletes and executives in the country. Andre Farr, CEO of the BSAA, organizes mentorship and networking opportunities between members in the D.R.E. Program and Executive Members of the BSAA.

Through practical training, hands-on activity and collective effort, D.R.E. Members are able to develop viable entrepreneurial skills and the necessary business acumen at a relatively early stage in life. D.R.E. Members are taught how to identify their individual learning styles and that of others to successfully transfer that information into business profitability.

D.R.E. is an enterprise moving forward with its initiative to create a network of young black entrepreneurs. The vision of D.R.E. is to utilize the leveraging power of 400 young top-tier entrepreneurs. The strength of the brand depends on the unity of these new business leaders. As the group builds effective long lasting relationships, D.R.E. will continue to serve as a model for young aspiring entrepreneurs to look up to. Brand equals expectation, and the expectation of D.R.E. is to develop top-tier professionals, instill enduring leadership values, and finally, leave a legacy for the youth to emulate. The D.R.E. system represents in itself the legacy of the Black Sports Agents Association, and will be passed down and replicated, effectively serving to economically empower our communities for generations to come.
