"Donating my experience, time and talent in business development and strategic process management to SCORE as a volunteer mentor is truly an act of service to the small business entrepreneurship community. Being able to extend knowledge and guide pathways to success is a societal duty to us all, if we want to realize generational wealth and prosperity.
As a small business owner, who has had to figure out the recipe to my own business success and have built that business helping other companies and institutions succeed, SCORE provides an avenue for entrepreneurs and business owners to access someone like me who not only listens, but hears them and guides them without judgment toward the success that only they can define at that specific moment in life and in business." – Cynthia Rhodes
