Greetings!
 This month I wanted to highlight one of our own, SBDC Rural Business Advisor, Peggy Hodges Rosser. Peggy was recognized this year as one of the "Women of Distinction." In addition to her other contributions to the community, as an SBDC advisor Peggy works closely with her clients to help achieve their business results or by helping them realize their dreams of business ownership. She tirelessly travels to many rural communities of the Concho Valley and works with community organizations and small business clients. She spends time in the communities, often staying overnight. Peggy is admired and respected by those with whom she comes into contact, and has helped many achieve their business dreams. Please see the recent story on Peggy in the San Angelo Standard Times. Sincerely, Dave Erickson, Director |
