New Employees
At our recent Fall Professional Development Conference in Wilmington, NC, we officially welcomed 7 new employees to the SBTDC family. Each new employee participates in an intense training program including a two day orientation, extensive shadowing in the field, and a final presentation to a panel. From across the state and from vastly differing backgrounds, we are thrilled about each new addition and how we can better serve the small and midsize businesses in our state.
