SBDC Expands Staff, Services in Northeast CO |
| The Northeast-East Central Colorado SBDC is excited to announce and welcome four new business counselors to its staff. The merger between the Greeley/Weld and Fort Morgan offices earlier this year created an opportunity to expand the SBDC's involvement in Northeastern Colorado.
The SBDC is extending small business services in multiple regions as well as hours in each community. These areas include Burlington, Holyoke, Julesburg, and Limon. As reported by Executive Director Dick Pickett, "With such a large territory, it is difficult to effectively service the needs of small businesses in outlying communities from two offices in Greeley and Fort Morgan. It is our goal that no business drives more than 45 minutes to meet with a SBDC counselor. There will be several additional counselor locations added in the next month, including Sterling and Yuma".
The new counselors include:
Nici Bishop, Executive Director of the Phillips County Economic Development Corporation
Trish Stever, Executive Director of the Sedgwick County Economic Development Corporation
Robert Todd, Retired, Previous President of the Bank of Straton
Patricia Vice, Executive Director of the Lincoln County Economic Development Corporation
These counselors have each committed two days per month to the SBDC in 2010 and will focus their hours on counseling small businesses in the community through start-up and growth processes. Read more about the new staff members at www.neeccosbdc.org/about-us/sbdc-staff/. To schedule an appointment with one of these counselors, please use their contact number below. |
