Donna Visits the Small Business Development Center
|
|
Throughout my tenure at the chamber, I have participated in many a meeting where individuals from the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) made presentations. Each presentation was always well done with an abundance of resources available to assist small business owners. I, however, had never visited the actual Small Business Development Center until last week.
Greeted by Starleen Van Buren, Director, I was provided a tour of the SBDC and quickly became impressed by the quantity of programs available. The mission of the SBDC, hosted by El Camino College, is to be the number one service provider of no-cost, expert entrepreneurial consulting, education and access to capital assistance for the small business community in the greater South Bay and Los Angeles area.

Thank you to Scott Robinson for hosting the Holiday Mixer!
|
Festive networking and holiday cheer was spread throughout Scott Robinson Honda's showroom last Wednesday, December 11th. Delicious appetizers and refreshments were provided, live holiday music kept the energy high. In the spirit of the season, many donated generously to the Torrance Police Department for their annual Policy Unity Tour (in honor of local law enforcement officers that have died in the line of duty), and all gave to the Salvation Army's Red Kettle at the entrance of the event. We thank all our members who joined us this evening and if you were not able to make it on Wednesday, we will see you next year!
