Dear ,

2015 is a special year for the Small Business Development Center program.  In September we will be marking our 35th anniversary providing entrepreneurs and small businesses with training and one-on-one business advising and technical assistance.  Over the coming months we will be highlighting some of the ways SBDCs have made a difference in Northeastern California and the nation.

On our anniversary year, the national SBDC program is undergoing a rebranding effort.  In our first article we are spotlighting our new logo.  While in the past, each SBDC in the country had its own logo.  Soon, SBDCs across all 50 states will have a similar logo.

We have three new SBDC service centers this year.  Our new offices are in Sacramento, Truckee, and Mt. Shasta.  Look for more details on the exciting programs of these three new centers.

SBA is on a road trip, highlighting a new Innovation and Technology national road show.  Details below.

Finally, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GoBiz) is holding a series of regional workshops on how small business can access the new "California Competes" program.
