Resources for Business Resilience and Recovery

SBDC Update

Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, Small Business Development Center Advisors are working around the clock counseling small businesses across the state. In some cases, the advisors have more work than they can handle. To assist in these efforts, we've created a contact email address for community members that are interested in volunteering their time and expertise as an advisor.  If you are interested, please send the organization and or industry you work in , your name, email, phone, expertise, and region/location in which you live to
