MANSFIELD, Ohio — North Central Ohio SCORE, Chapter 384 hosted a luncheon on Sept. 9 at The Ontario Event Center to recognize three successful small businesses – Annette’s Victorian Garden a Flora and Gift Boutique located in Ashland; and Doc’s Deli offering custom made sandwiches and catering services, and The Phoenix Brewing Company a microbrewery looking to bring a craft beer revival to the area, both located in Mansfield.
All three businesses are clients which SCORE has mentored. The SCORE North Central Ohio Chapter also honor several members for outstanding performance and service.
This year marks the 51st anniversary of SCORE, a division of the U S Small Business Administration. From modest origins in 1964 – a single chapter with a handful of members – SCORE has grown to a job-creating, nationwide powerhouse with 330 chapters and some 12,000 volunteers.
The North Central Ohio SCORE Chapter, celebrating its 39th anniversary, has over 20 volunteers with a broad range of industry experience and leadership and management skills – accounting, business planning, customer service, general management, manufacturing, marketing, retail, public relations, purchasing, sales, technology and more.
“As a group,” says Chapter Chair, Roger Daugherty, “we possess the expertise to help virtually any small business in practically any industry. Our members enjoy helping small business owners and entrepreneurs wishing to start a business see more clearly the pathway to success. They are individuals who have achieved success in their own careers or small businesses and place great value on giving back to their communities.”
The North Central Ohio Chapter’s coverage area includes Ashland, Crawford, Knox, Marion, Morrow, Richland and Wyandot counties with an office in Mansfield and Branch offices in Ashland and Mount Vernon.
