SBDC Business Consultant Wynne Briscoe took the title of State Star at the recent national conference of America’s Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC), a recognition that gives her the top title in Maryland for being the state’s outstanding SBDC business consultant of the year.
Since joining the SBDC network in November 2016, Briscoe has made significant contributions to the Southern Maryland region and throughout the state.
Briscoe’s contributions include leading the region’s first manufacturers and makers networking event and roundtable, providing entrepreneurial resources and information to new and existing clients and frequently participating on panels and think tanks that engage the Southern Maryland Innovation & Technology initiative. Briscoe serves as chair of the St. Mary’s County Economic Development Commission and the NAACP Economic Development Committee. She is an ambassador for the St. Mary’s County Chamber of Commerce.
Briscoe has personally helped 41 percent (or more than 200) of the existing SBDC clients receiving consulting services in Southern Maryland.
Criteria to win the State Star Award includes showing a strong commitment to small business success, making significant contributions to the state SBDC program and being an exemplary performer.
