We are starting to hear of local needs emerging, as the COVID crisis unwinds. Normally we’d invite members to share non-club “opportunities” as part of Sergeants – but of course we don’t have the opportunity to do that right now. So, we’ll include some such announcements in this newsletter. This week we’ve heard:
Regional SBDCs are seeing a significant uptick in requests for assistance, which seems very likely to grow as the COVID-19 situation continues. In order to prepare for the anticipated surge (and also to shore up continuity of operations plans), the Regional Solutions office is looking to gather a list of individuals willing to serve as volunteer business advisors – ideally, folks with strong financial backgrounds. Direct marketing skill sets are always in high demand as well. Do you have talent to share? Please reach out to Alex Campbell, alex.campbell@oregon.gov.
