Excellent Small Business Centers to be honored at State Board of Community Colleges meeting
RALEIGH: Four community college Small Business Centers will receive special honors at the first State Board of Community Colleges meeting of the year. The awards will be presented by the Small Business Center Network Advisory Board, chaired by Scott Bauer, President and CEO of Southern Community Bank and Trust in Winston-Salem. The State Board, chaired by Dr. G. Herman Porter, meets on Friday, January 19 at 9:00 AM in the State Board Room of the Caswell Building.
The Small Business Centers located at Brunswick Community College, Central Piedmont Community College, Haywood Community College and Lenoir Community College will be recognized by the SBCN for exemplary service to their communities. Two centers will be recognized as Regional Award winners, one will receive the Award of Excellence and the fourth will receive a Special Award of Recognition. An added bonus for three of the centers is a cash award, provided by Southern Community Bank and Trust and the North Carolina Bankers Association, Thad Woodard, Director.
"We are extremely proud of the work done at our 58 Small Business Centers. The directors are unsung heroes," said Scott Ralls, Vice President for Economic and Workforce Development at the North Carolina Community College System. "They are a direct link to the heart of the community and over the years have provided invaluable services to thousands of prospective entrepreneurs, one business at a time. They help business owners avoid possible pitfalls and show them how to succeed."
The four centers were chosen for recognition because they excelled in three categories. They have demonstrated their ability to help a particular small business do extremely well; they have developed innovative programs that benefit small businesses in their counties; and they have met the special needs of the small business community they serve.
This is also the first State Board meeting for two new members of the Council of State who serve as ex officio members of Board. Lt. Governor Beverly Perdue and State Treasurer Richard Moore will receive their official welcome to the State Board at the Issues Luncheon on Thursday at noon.
Also on the agenda for the State Board is a special presentation concerning the Higher Education Bonds by the Finance Committee on Thursday afternoon. The State Board will have to approve the distribution of the $600 million in bond money to community colleges over the next six years. The Finance Committee will offer several distribution options for the State Board to consider.
The full agenda is attached.
