Chapter Support
Did one of your SCORE Volunteers test "positive" for COVID-19?
It is your duty to notify the rest of the chapter members that someone tested positive and share what SCORE engagements they participated in during March.
DO NOT SHARE THE PERSON’S NAME.
Contact
volunteer.services@score.org
in case of any protocol questions or concerns.
SCORE Letter Writing Campaign
SCORE is initiating a volunteer-driven letter writing campaign during the month of April to emphasize our positive organizational impact to members of the Senate Small Business Committee. Since we did not receive additional relief funding through the CARES Act to support our COVID-19 response, this campaign will help to put ourselves in the strongest possible position for negotiations around the next potential bill.
We need your help to make our voice heard! Please use the attached
instructions
,
letter
and
contact information
to tell your senator how much SCORE means to you, to your community and to the clients you serve.
New Volunteer Recruiting Emails – Now Available
Two new email
drafts
are available to chapters to assist with recruiting of volunteers through April.
April is National Volunteer Month, but more importantly, volunteer mentors are needed now more than ever. This is a great opportunity to find the business leaders in your community who want to make a difference to local
entrepreneurs
during these trying times.
You will find these two email
s
in your Constant Contact accounts. Simply follow the directions
in the email
to
customize it
with your chapter’s local information, delete the header directions, and send to your local list.
