Annual SBA–SCORE On-Site Reviews: Action Required

 

It’s that time of year again—SBA District Offices will begin their Annual Reviews with SCORE Districts and Chapters.

 

What This Means

 

These reviews are designed to strengthen communication, collaboration, and operational alignment between SBA District Offices and SCORE Chapters.

 

SBA District Offices will schedule a coordination meeting with their SCORE District Director

 

• Connect with your SCORE District Director
• Review District Performance

 

Discuss:

• Chapter performance
• Key challenges
• Opportunities for growth
• Use Form 16 as Your Guide
• The SCORE District Director will present and review the SCORE On-Site Review Form (Form 16)

 

Full information is here: SBA Chapter Compliance Review
