To view monthly webinar recordings and associated presentation slides please review the below list:

• January 2022 - Volunteer Recruitment
  To kick off 2022, we took a look at volunteer recruitment strategies across various marketing channels. January is also National Mentoring Month, which is a great time to leverage volunteer recruitment. Within the presentation, we discuss ideas on how your chapter can highlight and recruit volunteers.   
                                                                                                                                                       
• December 2021 - Success Stories
  Business owners will often look to their peer-to-peer networks for business advice first. For this reason, it is vital that we use entrepreneurs' voices to help sell the story of SCORE's success, and a great way to do that is through success stories. Throughout this webinar, we review the success story submission process, tips on collecting these stories, and ideas on how to promote them.
                       
• November 2021 - Email Marketing Best Practices & Strategy
  There are 4 billion daily email users, and this number is expected to climb to 4.6 billion by 2025. With email being such a strategic tool in marketing, Jen Ruben, SCORE’s email marketing vendor, shared some best practices and tips your chapter can implement to improve your email strategy.

• October 2021 - Marketing FAQs
  The start of a new fiscal year can bring new chapter leadership, so the Marketing Team gathered some FAQs to share and review with the field.

• January 2021 - SCORE for All Initiative
  At SCORE, we believe that anyone can start and thrive as a small business with the right support. But we also know that road is harder for some than others and not everyone has access to the same opportunities. To ensure that all small business owners have the support and resources they need, we've developed SCORE for All. To launch the SCORE for All initiative and in recognition of Black History Month, we've developed a page of tailored resources for Black entrepreneurs and we will be rebranding the resources for women and Hispanic entrepreneurs. Learn more about the launch and get tools to offer tailored resources for underserved communities in your area.
