We have some of the most dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers here at SCORE. You are crucial to us achieving our mission. We know we couldn't exist without you and are thankful every day for your efforts.
Thank you for all that you do.

Diversity and Inclusion
|
Is your chapter having continuing conversations about Diversity and Inclusion? You should be talking
about this at each monthly chapter meeting and sharing some resources.
Here are 3 things you could discuss
:
1. Take a look: Go to Volunteer Center, click on "Leadership Resources". Click on National Leadership Conference Jacksonville, 2018
2. 7/30/19: SCORE's Culture of Diversity and Inclusion AND Highlighting Women Event
3. 8/1/19: Proven Strategies for Attracting and Maintaining a Diverse Volunteer Base
Any volunteer can see these resources and they make good conversation starters. How is your chapter doing?
