Each month on the 3rd Thursday of the month, we sponsor a Small Business Roundtable at our office. Every month brings a new short presentation on a topic of interest. We also leave time for small business owners to network and discuss common issues. Are you looking for ways to learn more and connect with your local business community? Join us at the SCORE Prairie and Lakes office in Fargo, North Dakota every 3rd Thursday!

We believe that anyone can start and manage a successful small business. We also know that the road is harder for some than for others. Diverse backgrounds, different voices, and unique needs may call for specialized resources and mentoring approaches.
SCORE is listening, recognizes these diverse needs, and provides personalized support in a wholly-inclusive platform called SCORE for All.

Since 1964, SCORE has educated and mentored more than 11 million small business owners and entrepreneurs. We're looking for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to serve in a variety of roles — from knowledgeable business mentors to local community advocates.
