In accepting their respective awards, the honorees credited their SCORE mentors for the success of their businesses and instilling the confidence to succeed. As award winner Charlene Brown said, “I believe that my mentor also deserves an award. Her insights and coaching kept me focused on business priorities. She supported my vision and helped me to lay the groundwork for an incredible company. I’m grateful to SCORE for bringing us together.”

Following the presentations of awards, SCORE CEO Bridget Weston, who attended the event along with SBA District Director Larry Webb, lauded the awardees for their hard work and perseverance. She added, “SCORE is immensely proud of our volunteer mentors who generously share their time and expertise with small businesses. Your success is vital to our economy, our nation, and our communities. You truly make a difference.” As evidence of the strong commitment to small business growth and development, Weston noted that, in 2023 alone, the SCORE Washington DC chapter’s assistance helped to generate 1,222 business openings and 4,100 new jobs in the Metropolitan area.
