SCORE National Honors Lancaster Volunteer

SCORE Counselor Ed England was honored by the National SCORE Association recently for his creativity and service to existing businesses in Lancaster County.

Under Ed’s leadership, SCORE Lancaster initiated a series of business roundtables designed to help businesses in similar industries by:

• sharing best practices
• discussing issues and challenges
• drawing on SCORE counselor experience and expertise
• sharing resources
• improving processes.

Two roundtable groups – retailers and contractors – are active and a new one is forming among members of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. This outreach to existing businesses reflects SCORE’s proactive commitment to the local business community. There is no charge to participate in the roundtables.

Ed was presented with the award by SCORE Lancaster Chapter Chair Jerry Glenn (right) at the January 20th Chapter meeting.

The citation presented to Ed reads:

“The SCORE Gold Member Award and Certificate is the highest national award that can be given to a volunteer.

To be eligible, a member must have provided a minimum of seven years of distinguished service and made an exceptional contribution to the chapter through activities such as workshop participation, administrative roles, community service, and outreach programs.”
