SCORE Chapter 249 volunteers have an opportunity to get together quarterly to meet each other and to learn and share about mentoring clients. It is especially important for newer volunteers to attend, since we have been unable to be together in person.

Preliminary Agenda

12:00 - Welcome and Reminder about the Required Ethics Course - Charlyn Daugherty

12:05 - Introduction of new Actives and Provisionals (Each will have 30 seconds to introduce themselves and their background) - Bobbi Dangerfield

12:20 - Update on COVID-19 Governmental Monetary Issues (repayment, forgiveness of loans, etc.) - Patricia Abbamonte

12:35 - Mastering Business Finance - David Duryee transferred to Austin from the Portland Score Chapter and has been teaching a 3-session class in Mastering Business Finance. Not only does this class provide significant revenue for the Chapter, but it offers tools and Excel templates for SCORE mentors and clients to generate ratios from their financial reports to use to evaluate and anticipate business financial success.  

12:40 - Update on closing the Austin Office and explanation of Breakout Sessions - Carleton Smith

12:50 – Breakout Session #1: We'll break into smaller groups with a mix of new and more experienced mentors to  share the resources we find to be most helpful for clients.

1:00 – Breakout Session #2: The smaller groups will move to a new topic  to share what they find to be their greatest needs to be effective SCORE mentors.

1:10 - Return from Breakout Session #2 for feedback and to close the meeting. - Bill Grosskopf
