A new chapter of the Score Association created in Middle Georgia

A new chapter of the Score Association has been created to serve Middle Georgia.

Score is a nonprofit organization offering free business mentoring and low-cost workshops to people starting or growing small businesses.

A branch of Score has been in Macon about 10 years, but it was part of the Atlanta chapter. And earlier this year, a Warner Robins branch was re-established, Ulrica Jones, chairwoman of the new chapter, said in an email.

"It was decided to create a SCORE Middle Georgia Chapter in October combining the (two branches)," she said.

The organization has more than 300 chapters in the U.S., according to a release. In Georgia, Score clients added more than 1,500 new jobs.

To sign up for free mentoring or for more information, go to www.score.middle georgia.org.
