SCORE’s Mission SCORE starts and grows successful small businesses across America, one business at a time

Why Do We Do This? …Because we want to. If we don’t want to, we won’t

SCORE Chapters Members are the same Difference is culture Client focused Operationally focused Everyone is mission driven, but some don’t understand the mission completely

Never heard of SCORE I’ve heard of SCORE I’ll consider SCORE I look for SCORE I went to SCORE Client Intake Process Love it Hate it Neutral Come back/Refer Shopping Clients either Awareness Detractors

Awareness SCORE Chapters have an awareness problem: “Well kept secret” “I didn’t know you were there” “You joined SCORE? What’s that?”

My Chapter Chair… *From the Volunteer Engagement Survey …has communicated a plan for executing on SCORE’s vision (81%) …regularly provides recognition for my accomplishments (72%) …clearly communicates his/her expectations of me (71%) …cares about me as an individual (79%) …inspires new ideas and better ways of doing things (74%)

Organizational Engagement Organize around functions instead of an organizational chart. Get new members engaged during the provisional period. Let members tell you what they want to do, and then let them do it. Articulate your strategy to get member buy-in.
