SCORE Leaders:

Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in SCORE’s first ever Virtual Leadership Conference. While we could not come together in person this year, it was wonderful to connect with you in the virtual environment, and your energy and dedication to our mission were palpable. I hope you, too, could feel the teamwork, as we worked together to plan for the year ahead as “One SCORE.”

While our annual conference is always an important learning and networking opportunity, it is also a celebration of you, SCORE’s volunteer leaders. We understand and value the importance of strong, thoughtful leadership in this organization. Your leadership of your chapters, districts and regions this year will help us achieve our “Wildly Important Goals” of helping entrepreneurs with their small business needs and positively engaging our volunteer corps.

Thank you for all of your valuable feedback throughout the conference. Please continue to keep the lines of communication open, so that we can learn firsthand from you what is working, what’s not, and how we can make it easier to be an effective leader at SCORE. We are committed to empowering you with the resources and support you need to lead successfully, so that you can achieve your goals and SCORE can have an even greater impact on the small business communities we serve.

With Deepest Respect,

Bridget Weston

SCORE CEO

All presentations from the conference have been recorded and are available to be viewed on demand in the virtual conference platform. To access, simply login to the virtual platform and head to the Auditorium. Presentations will be available on demand within the virtual platform for a full year.

All VLC Resources including pre-conference webinar recordings, presentation slides, and the book summary from our Keynote Speaker, Jim Huling, will be available on the Support Center by Friday, August 7th.

During VLC 2020, our volunteers were very engaged and submitted many thoughtful questions. Unfortunately, we were not able to answer them all during the conference; however, that does not mean that they will remain unanswered.

The SCORE HQ Team is in the process of consolidating all the questions that were not able to answered during the conference. Once compiled, we will put together a sheet of questions and their respective answers that we will share with the field. You can expect to receive these within the next month, but we will communicate if there is a delay for any reason.

Once again, all of us at SCORE HQ would like to offer our sincere gratitude to all of our volunteers who helped to make VLC 2020 such a success. We could not have done this without each and every one of you. We are excited and energized for what lies ahead in the upcoming year!

We wish health and safety for all of you and your families and hope to see you in person sometime soon.
