Diversity & Inclusion - Note from Beth Shapiro
Currently, our diversity numbers are stagnant at 26.4% women and 10.9% minorities. We need to continually search for more diverse volunteers.
We are often asked about HOW. It's not magic but it does take some planning and organization.
Click here for a presentation made by the Women's Committee at the 2018 National Leadership Conference. It is relevant and will hopefully help you kick-start your recruiting efforts.
If you need more help, please contact
Beth Shapiro.
If your chapter was awarded a field grant, the allocation has now been uploaded to Intacct. It can be found on the
Budget Report (AI22) under
Favorited Reports (not on the Intacct Dashboard).
SOM - New Downloadable Version
In addition to the online format of the updated SCORE Operating Manual, there is now a 56 page PDF version available. You will find this on the
