SCORE South Palm Beach has been named the National SCORE Chapter of the Year, doubling the number of businesses it has helped and for its programs with veterans, teen entrepreneurs and universities.
“Our country survives on the entrepreneurial spirit,” said Hal Finkelstein, chair of SCORE South Palm Beach since 2007. “Our small businesses are our leading employers. Our members feel it’s their responsibility to foster the growth of today’s and tomorrow’s business leaders.”
On April 17, Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel presented the award to the all-volunteer nonprofit, which is part of a network of 364 SCORE chapters, at a ceremony at Gleneagles Country Club.
