Local Business Women Complete Leading Edge™ Certification

The SLV Small Business Development Center (SLV SBDC) is pleased to announce that Kim Smoyer, Villa Grove, and Lisa Cyriacks, Crestone, have completed the training and certification process to become Leading Edge Instructors in June of 2010. They join Donna Wehe, Director of the SLV SBDC, in providing a high quality entrepreneurial training program to the business owners of the six counties in the San Luis Valley. Lisa said, “There are a lot of non-profits in the Valley who could also benefit from this material, so in my opinion, it’s not just for new business owners or small business owners. Lots of different types of businesses could benefit from this seminar.” Kim commented on the certification process. "The SBDC provided me with a valuable opportunity to participate in the NxLevel Instructor Training for Entrepreneurs. I look forward to passing along all the comprehensive and helpful knowledge that the Leading Edge course provides to current and future business owners throughout the San Luis Valley." For more detail on the class, please go to http://slv-small-biz-success.blogspot.com/. The next offering of Leading Edge will be September 1 through November 17 at Moffat School. This 12-week seminar will run from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. each Wednesday. The last day to register is August 25^th. To register, please contact Kim at (719) 655-0104 or ksmoyer@centurylink.net.
