Support Small Business Growth in Your Area: Volunteer With SCORE!
From Ideation to Incubation: Customer Discovery
Auditions: Elf The Musical
SCORE is a resource partner of the US Small Business Administration. Our mission is to help people fulfill a dream to create a new business or grow an existing business. We are looking for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to volunteer to be small business mentors and local community advocates.
Small businesses drive the nation’s economy. And, they have been hit hard the past few years. The 9 SCORE chapters in North Carolina are receiving many requests from folks wanting to start or grow businesses! These business owners need help. Would you be interested in joining SCORE?
Mentors provide valuable insight on many topics and give you an opportunity to share what you learned during your career. SCORE chapters members have men and women from every type of industry and position – bankers, accountants, marketing/sales, franchisees, Fortune 500 execs, and small business owners too.
SCORE volunteers do many things to help entrepreneurs. Here are some examples:
· Business Mentor – Directly advising and supporting small business owners and would-be entrepreneurs
· Subject Matter Expert – Supporting both mentors and business owners by providing information in your area(s) of experience and expertise
- Workshop Presenter – Delivering presentations to either in-person or online audiences on topics that will help them grow their businesses
All our volunteers help support and grow America’s Small Business community – the greatest generator of employment in the country!

This seminar is offered in-person only. Speaker(s): Duane Adams, Associate Director, A-B Tech Small Business Center Co-Sponsor(s): Western Women’s Business Center This program is offered in-person only.

Women’s Leadership Breakfast
This breakfast organized by the ATHENA of Henderson County Award committee is a fantastic opportunity to explore your own development as a leader while encouraging future leaders to explore their potential!
The program will feature past recipients of the ATHENA Award, as well as our sponsor of our event, Cheryl Stuller in a panelist discussion on their experience with leadership and mentorship.
Established leaders are encouraged to invite an emerging leader to attend this event. Conversations will happen, lives will be touched, leaders will be inspired, and friendships will be formed.
No matter your level of professional/personal development, this event allows the space and time for introspection – an opportunity to celebrate the gifts we have, and the chance to learn more about the skills we would like to grow, all structured around building a supportive network and community. We hope you can join us!

Virtual business networking meeting
Financial Wellness for the Entrepreneur
Join our virtual team of business professionals with the goal of growing your business. We meet every Wednesday via Teams video conferencing at 8:30 for 90 minutes. No fees, just participation and consistency required. Make new connections and generate business in a professional environment
Financial Wellness for the Entrepreneur: Building a solid foundation for your personal credit & finances
We’re all aware that personal finance isn’t taught in school, and with that, we’re often forced to learn only through trial and error. When it comes to starting or growing a business, it’s commonly forgotten that your personal credit and finances will play a huge role in the lending process. In this workshop, we will discuss accessing and analyzing your reports to apply frameworks and smart tools for everyday financial decisions while briefly touching on business credit.
Tiarra Wilkie, founder of Groundbreaking Financial, will be giving this workshop in the Morgan Boardroom.
