**Important Announcement from the SBC**
As we enter into Summer 2021, I would like to inform you that I will be out of the office from June 21, 2021 until August 23, 2021. In my absence, our Small Business Center Specialist, Meghan Douglas, will be the point of contact until I return. Please do not hesitate to contact Meghan if you have any questions regarding upcoming SBC events, or to schedule one-on-one counseling. As announced in the June newsletter we have a great team of summer counselors to assist with one-on-one sessions for new and existing business owners needing counseling services.
Also, please keep in mind that we are counting on your feedback for our 2020-2021 annual report. If you have received an Impact survey from us we would appreciate if you took five minutes to complete it and let the Small Business Center Network know how we assisted you this year. If you prefer to complete the survey over the phone, give us a call! Want to tell us about your success in an email, send us an email! We are flexible in how we get the information, it is more important to us that the information is received! Share your great news by calling 252-451-8344 or emailing [email protected].
Please have a safe summer and enjoy your friends and family as we welcome life outside after COVID. Although restrictions are easing and more people are becoming vaccinated, please remember to continue to STAY SAFE and be cautious in all your activities!
