Elm Street Assisted Living
“SCORE helped me when I worked for a non-profit and again when I started my own business.”
Jill Wallace first encountered SCORE when she was employed by a charity and attended SCORE workshops. That learning experience helped her in her job, but also gave her the confidence to write a business plan for a new small business endeavor. “It was simple, but SCORE had convinced me I needed a plan to guide me in my new venture.”
