Excellent Small Business Centers to be honored at State Board of Community Colleges meeting
RALEIGH: The State Board of Community Colleges will help to honor four outstanding community college Small Business Centers at the first State Board of meeting of the year. The Small Business Center Network (SBCN) Advisory Board will present its Second Annual Excellent Small Business Center Awards at the 9:00 AM meeting on January 18. Scott Bauer, President and CEO of Southern Community Bank and Trust in Winston-Salem chairs the SBCN Advisory Board. The State Board, chaired by James J. Woody, meets in the Caswell Building.
The Small Business Centers located at Central Carolina Community College, Coastal Carolina Community College, Forsyth Technical Community College and Haywood Community College will be recognized by the SBCN for exemplary service to their communities. This is the second year that Haywood CC will be recognized.
Two centers will be named 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 associates.
"Our Small Business Centers provide a critical service in the local communities and the centers honored are the best of the best," said Scott Ralls, vice president for Economic and Workforce Development at the North Carolina Community College System. "Since the economy is in difficulty, the services provided at these four centers and the others across the state are more important than ever. Budding entrepreneurs need to have the best tools possible to provide the best possibility for success as they enter new territory."
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.
The full agenda for the State Board of Community Colleges follows.
