📊 Last week, Scott Loftin, Director, and Business Consultant Ben King attended the ASBTDC Statewide Staff Meeting and Mini-Professional Development Conference held April 21-23 at UA Little Rock.

The conference provided valuable opportunities for networking, collaboration, and professional development with colleagues from across the state. 🤝

Sessions covered key topics including strategic planning, AI integration, small business lending pathways, an effective client communication-equipping consultants with tools and insights to better serve Arkansas entrepreneurs.

We are proud to be part of a statewide network dedicated to supporting small business growth and look forward to applying what we learned to better serve our clients.
