"The SBDC is the best resource for existing and new businesses to attain the information that they need to grow their bottom line while getting the information that they need to effectively operate and grow their business. It is a great pleasure to partner and volunteer with such an organization that truly has the resources available to businesses to grow the local economy."

"SBDC Consultant Ron O'Herron continues to help Integrity remain successful. My ability to adapt to the changing business environment comes from the mentorship received through Ron. My ability to have Ron and the SBDC as a partner is a key component to Integrity's continued success. The ability to obtain work such as the Search for life on Europa, through NASA would not be possible without great mentorship and advisory support. We are building on the shoulders of giants and we are proud of it. Thank you!"
