The 黑丝内射视频 Small Business and Technology Development Center named Bill Sabo, director of the ASBTDC regional office at the University of 黑丝内射视频 鈥� Fort Smith, Ambassador of the Year at its statewide meeting on October 11 in Little Rock.

The award honors the member of the ASBTDC network who excelled at promoting the center in their region or the state through outreach, media, and other activities.

鈥淭here鈥檚 nothing better than helping someone realize a dream of starting a small business,鈥� said Sabo. 鈥淐hancellor [Terisa] Riley and Dr. Settlage had the vision of a business-focused hub when they created the Center for Economic Development in downtown Fort Smith, and over the past year, we have seen it make a huge impact on the general business population.鈥�

鈥淭he ASBTDC is a critical part of the 黑丝内射视频 Center for Economic Development as it provides valuable resources to aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners,鈥� added Dr. Latisha Settlage, Dean of the 黑丝内射视频 College of Business and Industry. 鈥淏ill Sabo is truly deserving of this recognition.

No puzzle is complete if it鈥檚 missing even one piece,鈥� Sabo said.

鈥淏ill is a wonderful champion for ASBTDC and small businesses, and I am thrilled to recognize his dedication to helping people achieve their dreams,鈥� said Fine.
