YCCD SBDC Staff and Consultants
Averaging more than 25 years experience, YCCD SBDC counselors guide clients through the business development process empowering the business owner to find their own solutions. Rather than doing the work for them, SBDC counselors work with the business owner as coach, trainer, and facilitator. The business owner is involved pro-actively, addressing issues, finding and implementing solutions that provide the desired results.
