RANDOLPH CENTER, Vt. (March 10, 2021) – America’s SBDC Day is set for March 17th, 2021, a day that will unite nearly 1,000 Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) across the country and the hundreds of thousands of clients they’ve served in their 41-year history.
Here at home, Vermont’s Small Business Development Center (VtSBDC), along with clients, stakeholders, and partners, will mark the day virtually, posting on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn throughout the day, using the hashtags #SBDCDay and #VtSBDCDay. On March 17, participants are encouraged to like, comment, and share how VtSBDC has created a difference in their lives and communities.
“Now more than ever, it’s important to recognize those who have demonstrated resilience in this most challenging year,” said VT State Director Linda Rossi. “Small businesses are a key component of our state’s economy, and VtSBDC continues to provide local business owners and entrepreneurs with the resources they need to make critical decisions and to move forward. We celebrate small business every day of the year, but SBDC Day on March 17 gives us an opportunity to invite our community partners to join us in recognition.”
