Partner/Producer Otto Larson has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Ohio Small Business Development Center in Springfield, which provides the coaching and financing that small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs need to start, grow and sustain their business.

The Springfield Small Business Development Center was recently selected as the SBA Region VI’s SBDC Innovation and Excellence Award winner. Out of 101 centers in the six-state region, Springfield’s SBDC rose above for how it has creatively served small businesses in an area that has been devastated by population and job loss. The SBDC Program is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration, the Ohio Development Services Agency and the City of Springfield.
