One way to answer the question is to recount why I joined SCORE…perhaps my reasons will resonate with others.

The number one reason I joined SCORE in Ellsworth was to give something back to the community in an area in which I had some expertise. My wife and I both volunteer elsewhere, but those opportunities, while valuable and interesting, do not take advantage of my business experience. Volunteering at SCORE does. I’m able to use my general business education and 40 years of working experience, generally but not exclusively in large businesses, and apply that knowledge and background in an effort to help the local business community.

Secondary benefits to me are as follows:

• I’m able to meet interesting people, both members of SCORE on a national, state and local level, as well as clients.

• I’m afforded the opportunity to continue learning.

• I’m better informed about things which are happening in the local business community. Since SCORE is a member of the Ellsworth Chamber of Commerce, all SCORE counselors are encouraged to participate in Chamber events.

• I’m able to “keep my hand in” on current business topics of interest.

• The people with whom I counsel show respect for my experience and expertise, resulting in “psychic income” to me.
