SCORE Middle Georgia continues to rev-up resources for start-ups, entrepreneurs, small business owners and those seeking to enter proprietorship. In addition to mentoring and regular workshops, SCORE Middle Georgia is currently planning the debut regional Women Entrepreneur Leadership Conference on September 16-17, 2016. Registration is now open, with discounted Early Bird ticket available.

The keynote speakers at the event will be Macon's own Jenny Greer and Erin Bickley, entrepreneurs of Hold Your Haunches, who won the hearts and, ah-hem, assets of ABC's "Shark Tank."

Don't forget --

-SCORE Middle Georgia volunteers meet with clients at the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce and the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce. These mentor services are free and can be arranged through the SCORE Middle Georgia website.

-SCORE volunteers are always available for interviews and appearances with business advice for your news stories and "ask-the-expert" segments.

-SCORE Middle Georgia is part of the national SCORE organization. Our active, local chapter is also in need of more volunteers -- so please consider sharing the story on this way of giving back to the community through business advice and counseling.
