Walter Cotter introduced Dave Herst of SCORE formerly called Service Corps of Retired Executives. Score was formerly comprised of retired executives. Working executives have joined the group which provides consultative services to corporations. Working executives now represent over 50%.
Dave has had a wide variety of experiences in the business world. Small businesses represent 99.7% of all US employers, representing 47% of private sector payroll. Dave reminded us that all major corporations started as small businesses. He decided to change his life when his daughter was two years old and they were living in Manhattan. Dave wanted to provide a better life for her and decided to get away from the hubbub and move to Greater Boston where his partner was. They are still partners after 44 years. Dave started to volunteer for SCORE 12 years ago and is looking for more volunteers to join the organization. The skill most needed is common sense. Businesses need advice on closing, staying open, accounting, tax, building the business, bankruptcy, etc..
Contact Dave if interested.
