"I didn't realize how important a female role model could be until I became one for my female SCORE clients."

Dorothy Call, past National Director, SCORE/WBO.

"When my business was in trouble, a friend told me about SCORE. I was skeptical, but after meeting with my SCORE representative Kathryn J. Hobbs, (Albuquerque, New Mexico), I was sold. SCORE helped me save my business and put me on the right track for expansion."

Juanita Bower, Owner, Southwest Inspired Designs
