Who are SCORE counselors?
Willamette SCORE counselors are men and women from all
types of business backgrounds who are ready to share with you knowledge gained
from years of experience. SCORE counselors-serving as mentors, workshop
leaders, and teachers-have already helped make business dreams come true for
hundreds of small business owners. They can help you too. The Willamette chapter
of SCORE is part of the national SCORE organization that works in partnership
with the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide professional
guidance and information to small business owners.
SCORE volunteers help entrepreneurs make
common-sense decisions about whether they should take the leap of small business
ownership. Often for a variety of practical, financial and psychological
reasons, SCORE counselors help clients realize they aren't in a position to
take the leap from idea to reality. Other times SCORE counselors work
side-by-side with clients as they turn a business idea into an actual working
business.
SCORE counselors volunteer because they have enjoyed successful
business careers and want to give something back to the community. Moreover, the
SCORE counselors get great satisfaction from the accomplishments and successes
realized by their clients
