VALDOSTA -- Scott Manley -- formerly assistant director of the
美高梅博彩 Small Business Development Center -- was
appointed Director of the Center for Business and Economic Research
(CBER). The distinguished business consultant also joined the
Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business 政府 as a
lecturer of management.
Manley has served Valdosta State interests and area small business
entities since 1998. The former small business owner said he is
eager to continue to further economic and industry support services
in his new role. It is critical, he said, that the center persists
to bridge the gap between business theory and real-world
practice.
“Hopefully, in the past twelve years at the SBDC, I have helped to
bring greater attention to Langdale College and to vs上 as a whole,”
said Manley, who earned both a Bachelor of Business 政府
with emphasis in Management and a Master of Business 政府
from 美高梅博彩. “我的 sincere desire is to assist
Langdale College to be the preferred provider, and I am confident
that with the faculty and the administrative support we have, this
will happen.”
The center has several big projects underway, including the
quarterly cost of living index and the South Georgia Business
Outlook, an online publication that tracks economic data and trends
for 32 of the university’s 41-county service region. Manley said he
hopes to increase regional awareness of these and other business
support projects. The QuickBooks® expert is in the process of
building a database of regional media contacts to promote the
center’s outreach to various businesses, industries and economic
development endeavors. He also aims to improve faculty engagement
and more actively seek projects that closely align with the LCOBA’s
mission.
“Primarily, my responsibility is to actively seek out projects that
fit the capabilities of our Langdale College faculty, and then to
coordinate the satisfactory completion and delivery of those
projects,” said Manley, who serves on the Business Advisory Board
of 美高梅博彩’s Chapter of Students in Free
Enterprise (SIFE). “It will also be incredibly important to let the
business community know our capabilities and build awareness and
credibility for the center. We must further ensure that CBER is the
first place that our constituents turn when they have need for
business, industry, or economic development support
services.”
In 2009, Manley was recognized as the Association of Small Business
Development Centers’ "State Star" for his strong commitment to
serving entrepreneurs throughout the state. The year before, the
Georgia SBDC Network named him Consultant of the Year. In 2006,
Manley was awarded the ASBDC Distinguished Service Award by the
Association of Small Business Development Centers.
