For those of you who are outgoing treasurers, thank you for your service for your chapter and for SCORE. Instructions for onboarding Incoming Treasurers can be found in the Chapter Accounting Policies and Procedures (CAPP).

Fill out Expense Reimbursement Request Reports Form 14, revised for 2021, attach the receipts and send to your chapter within 30 days for their approval and submission to HQ.

At year-end, every Form 14, for transactions before 09/30/21, needs to be at HQ by October 11, 2021 with approvals and adequate documentation in order to use National Allocation Budget or chapter restricted funds. Please do not include receipts for different fiscal years on the same Form 14.

This year's SCORE Leadership Conference is being held virtually, August 9-11. The theme of this year’s event is: Adapt. Motivate. Succeed.

We recognize that SCORE volunteers were dedicated to adapting during this past year. We want our leaders to leave this year’s conference feeling like they are ready to take on any new challenges that the upcoming year may bring. The conference will showcase various tools and resources available to help make volunteering with SCORE easier and bring back the 'WHY' to our mission.

Thank you to SCORE leaders who are able to participate! Recordings will be available for all in the coming weeks, on the Support Center here.
