(SAVANNAH, GA) The Savannah chapter of SCORE has elected Marjorie Young as its new President. PHOTO BELOW
SCORE, which stands for Service Corps of Retired Executives, is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the small business community through free mentoring and business counseling. SCORE members volunteer their time and business expertise to help coach the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Young’s goals for SCORE include increasing mentoring participation within the business community and expanding awareness about SCORE.
There are 13,000 mentors available on the national SCORE website. Business owners can contact mentors who are in their trade or field of business by email to address specific questions. Out of the 13,000 mentors, approximately 80 percent are retired and 20 percent of the mentors are active business owners.
Young states, "So many people are unemployed that they are now thinking about or starting their own business. SCORE mentors are reaching out to advise start-up businesses, mentor businesses and help get America back on track."
"In 1990 I had my first meeting with a SCORE mentor to help my father’s printing business in Alexandria, Virginia. That advice was invaluable and helped turn our business around," Young continues. "I have volunteered for SCORE as a mentor for years, and I’m thrilled to now be the president. I want business owners to know that they have free access to amazing areas of local expertise, including accounting, international trade, computer technology, social media, public relations, marketing, engineering management, going public, retail, health care, nonprofits, insurance, digital productions, Internet marketing, manufacturing, cash flow, business plans and logistics. We even have a retired IRS agent volunteering with us. If you can’t find a local match for your business you can access www.score.org which has 13,000 mentors."
In addition to arranging speaking engagements with organizations, Young strives to develop a Speed Mentoring Day in conjunction with the Small Business Development Center, to be held on March 8, 2012.
"This will be a signature event for SCORE. Small businesses will have access to numerous mentors, among them retired and active business owners, in a roundtable-style mentoring event."
Business hours for the Savannah location of SCORE are Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please visit www.scoresav.org for more information.

GA Law Firms, Pro Bono Resource Center Launch Free Legal Clinic to Help Local Small Businesses and Nonprofits Survive COVID Pandemic
Clinics Offer Remote Consultations for Navigating CARES Act, Paycheck Protection Program, and Other COVID-19 Legal Concerns
GEORGIA – Today, the State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Resource Center, along with Georgia law firms and Lawyers for Equal Justice, and in partnership with Lawyers for Good Government Foundation, a non-profit network of more than 125,000 legal advocates with lawyers in all 50 states, announced the launch of a Small Business and Nonprofit Remote Legal Clinic, offering pro bono legal consultations for small business owners and nonprofits to help them navigate the COVID-19 economic crisis and ensuing relief programs.
Qualifying small businesses of 25 or fewer employees and nonprofits will be matched with GA law firms, including Alston & Bird, Eversheds Sutherland, Kilpatrick Townsend, King & Spalding, and Nelson Mullins, for free 45-minute phone or virtual consultations with pro bono attorneys who can answer legal questions and help determine the best path forward for their companies. Consultations will include helping Georgia small business owners or nonprofits understand the legislative language in the CARES Act and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and answer any questions related to employment, contracts, commercial leases, insurance and insolvency issues.
LINK FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND NONPROFITS TO REGISTER: www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/covid-small-business-georgia-client-intake
Under phase three of stimulus relief legislation passed by Congress, an additional $320 billion has been provided to make new loans under the PPP, which provides forgivable loans to small business that keep employees on the payroll for eight weeks. The measure also includes $60 billion in loans and grants under a separate Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.
“An extraordinary number of small businesses and nonprofits are suddenly fighting for survival. While our firms may otherwise compete in business, we work side-by-side on pro bono and will always come together to fulfill our professional duty to help the community, now more than ever,” said John Fleming, Pro Bono Partner at Eversheds Sutherland.
“The attorneys in our network strive to serve Georgians who do not qualify for free legal services but may not be able to afford traditional representation. That includes many of the small businesses that are looking for support at this time,” said L4EJ Executive Director, JoAnna Smith.
“Hundreds of thousands of small business owners and nonprofits, many of whom already operate on very narrow margins, are still struggling with questions about how their businesses will survive the COVID-19 pandemic. This small business and nonprofit legal clinic can help them navigate the economic crisis that was no fault of their own, and provide them with guidance they desperately need at this time,” said Lawyers for Good Government’s executive director Traci Feit Love.
If you are interested in learning more about the Georgia Small Business and Nonprofit Remote Legal Clinic, I’d be happy to connect you with folks at the Georgia Pro Bono Resource Center, or any of the firms involved.
