Description: If you’ve ever run a company, managed a department, or written a brochure, someone in the business world needs your talents. This organization pairs retired executives with small business owners in need of advice. Sponsored by the Small Business Administration, the program has experts in virtually every area of free enterprise, including management, finance, marketing, and human resources.The Kansas City chapter’s volunteers join more than 11,500 nationwide who donate their time and talent to help nearly 300,000 entrepreneurs every year. The satisfaction that you helped should be enough, but sometimes there are more immediate bonuses, like the one a businessman in Johnson County who provided advice to a young woman starting a candy company got. He has enough chocolate to last another lifetime.
