Michigan Small Business Development Center conference honors SVSU regional director

Beth Roszatycki, regional director for the Lake Huron Region of the Michigan Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Saginaw Valley State University, earned the Culture Award for going above and beyond to support Michigan small businesses. She received the honor at the 2022 Michigan SBDC conference. 

 

The Culture Award is a peer-nominated award for individuals recognized as going above and beyond expectations to advance the SBDC’s mission of helping Michigan small businesses succeed. Roszatycki shared the honor with Laura Mahronic, regional director for the Upper Peninsula SBDC 

 

“Laura and Beth helped during a time of need,” said J.D. Collins, state director of Michigan SBDC. “When another region needed help, it was the actions of two people that stood out above the rest. Beth’s actions remind me of a quote: ‘If you have more than what you need, build a longer table.’ Your leadership bucket runneth over – thank you.”   

 

Each year the entire Michigan SBDC network gathers with clients, team members and guests to learn, network and recognize each other for the work done assisting Michigan small businesses to succeed. The conference included a Capital Region client panel discussion, general sessions and breakout sessions as well as the awards ceremony. 

  

The Lake Huron Region SBDC, housed at the Scott L. Carmona College of Business at Saginaw Valley State University, is one of the Business Excellence Centers at SVSU, which provide training, consulting and research services to Michigan’s business community.
