Volunteer Speaker List
The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center network is assisted by volunteer speakers. The statewide training program has grown through the support of these individuals, and we would like to express our sincere thanks to them for volunteering their time and expertise. The ASBTDC relies on these individuals to provide high quality training in areas in which these professionals have expertise. The value of the services provided by our partners and sponsors contributed to more than $141,000 of inkind contributions to the ASBTDC. We greatly appreciate their willingness to help us serve small businesses across the state of Arkansas.
