SCORE

Thursday, April 11, SCORE counselors Tom Morem, Bob Brickman, Don Peterson, Tom Maas, Jim Weber, John Beckel and Ken Trom all tested and were certified as business mentors.

The national SCORE office is encouraging all counselors to become mentors. Whereas counselors generally complete their work in two or three sessions, mentors engage in an ongoing relationship with their clients.

The certification session was conducted by Mr. Brian Alivin and Mr. Jerry Dallman from the Southeast Minnesota Chapter Office, located in Rochester.

SCORE is a nationwide system of volunteer business counselors who provide their services to businesses free of charge. For assistance in business management, contact SCORE at the Austin Area Chamber of Commerce at 507-437-4561.
