- Provided 6,580 mentoring sessions – an increase of 18% from the previous year.

- Increased webinar attendance by an impressive 372%.

- Expanded their volunteer base by 13%, allowing them to provide expert mentoring support to even more small businesses.

Suvendoo Ray, chapter chair of SCORE Greater Seattle, expressed his gratitude for all those who contributed to this success. "Congratulations to all our volunteers and clients who played a crucial role in this achievement," he said. "Our impact goes beyond Seattle, as we worked together with other chapters across the state, region, and country to improve our workshops, mentoring, communications, and outreach. It's an honor to be part of the SCORE team and contribute to the success of the wider small business community."
