The SCORE Association, a resource partner of the US Small Business Administration formally recognized the establishment of a new chapter in North Metro Atlanta. With multiple offices in Cobb, North Fulton and Gwinnett counties, SCORE North Metro Atlanta becomes one of over 300 SCORE Chapters nationwide. A not for profit organization, the SCORE Association provides free and low cost services to small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. With over 40 volunteers in SCORE North Metro Atlanta, the new chapter will offer free mentoring, free and low cost workshops and conferences and other advisory services to entrepreneurs in the communities it serves.

According to Bill Foust, chair of SCORE North Metro Atlanta, the chapter will receive its charter from Eric Thompson, the SCORE Association’s Southeast Regional Vice President, at a meeting taking place at the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce. The new chapter partners with the North Fulton, Cobb and Gwinnett chambers and other local organizations to deliver services in seven locations throughout the north metro area.

As one SCORE North Metro Atlanta client recently wrote about her SCORE mentor, “His strategic input has been enormously wise and useful! He was an excellent and patient listener. We examined a wide variety of options I could explore based on his insights and life experiences -- very enlightening! I'm so thankful for SCORE's services to people like me.”
