As we approach this holiday season, I am feeling particularly grateful for each of our SCORE volunteers. Your work to serve the small businesses across our nation makes a significant, positive impact in the lives of so many, and this impact motivates us to remain focused on the true north for our organization.

 

This past year has been one that has placed challenges in front of small businesses across the nation. It has also required us to adapt to these challenges and the manner in which we serve our clients. I want to thank each and every one of you for rising to the occasion and meeting these challenges with the specific information that our clients needed, when they needed it, and how they received it, while maintaining the highest quality of services we have always done.

 

Thank you for working together as One SCORE. We have seen incredible collaboration and coordination between chapters, districts regions, and staff focused on delivering the information that clients needed. The ability to provide relevant, accurate and timely information that could be shared between chapters ensured that there was a consistency in our webinars. In the time of ever-changing information, sharing resources kept us from having to duplicate our efforts thus speeding up the time needed to reach our clients. You also worked directly with clients in a virtual environment providing on-going mentoring. This resulted in helping more people than we have ever done.

 

Without your commitment, creativity, and high standards, we would not be able to serve so many clients. Thank you for your efforts day in and day out to serve our clients and make SCORE what it is. Thank you for your generosity of your time, expertise, experience, and your willingness to go above and beyond.

 

Your passion and energy to make a difference are unparalleled. We are so very grateful to have you as Members of SCORE. Thank you for being so selfless with us and for so many in whose lives you make a tangible difference.

 

We remain committed to open, transparent communication, and we remain focused on assisting you in achieving our mission. We know, without you, there would be no SCORE. Thank you - for generously giving SCORE your time, your knowledge, and your talents. It is an honor to work beside you as we continue to build this amazing organization.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
