When Chris Wicker launched his first business venture, he turned to SCORE for guidance. Through weekly meetings, he had the opportunity to openly discuss his experiences, challenges and triumphs as a new entrepreneur. From testing new ideas to refining strategies, Chris found the support he needed to thrive. Today, Chris pays it forward as a volunteer SCORE mentor supporting local entrepreneurs. Thank you, Chris! #NationalVolunteerMonth
