Associate State Director Roundtable #1 of 3 (90 minutes) Exclusively for Associate State Directors, this roundtable provides a private, in-person forum for peer connection and candid discussion among leaders within the SBDC network. The session creates space for open dialogue around operational priorities, leadership challenges, and opportunities facing Associate State Directors. Participants will engage in a facilitated conversation designed to encourage the exchange of perspectives, experiences, and practical approaches from across the network. Topics will be announced closer to the event. Questions: please contact Kelly Flint at kelly@americassbdc.org

Effective strategic planning is essential for SBDC network success and a core requirement of Accreditation. A strategic mindset and clear alignment build organizational capacity and communicate direction to both internal and external audiences. Equally important to the plan itself is the design of the planning process: a repeatable structure that engages leadership, staff, and client-facing locations across the full Network. This session presents a practical, inclusive approach to strategic planning that moves networks from planning to action. You will learn how to assess your ecosystem and stakeholders, align planning with Accreditation expectations, implement plans successfully, and sustain continuous learning and integration across the Network so priorities are translated into measurable outcomes.
