Presenter Bios:

Alan Ludmer: is President of ARL, INC. which provides marketing and management support services to selected entrepreneurial firms, individuals, and not for profit organizations. In addition, he provides individual and organizational career coaching services.

He has over 50 years of professional experience in marketing, management, training and business ownership. He has served in senior management positions in several national corporations, and has developed and implemented sophisticated management, marketing, and training programs for diverse corporate and individual clients nationwide.

Robert Pennell: Building a business takes commitment and determination – not to mention patience. I’ve successfully developed a business plan, secured institutional financing, recruited necessary personnel, and promoted the start-up of my legal practice so I know what needs to be done. For ongoing success you have to build a loyal client base. In my case that was through personal attention, quality service and consistent follow through but every business model is different. The key is to identify your core market and determine the best way to drive business to that market which is much easier said than done. Through SCORE we can help you to answer these questions. I’d like to be able to help you move your business goals forward through SCORE.

Stuart Epstein: My background in financial analysis, accounting, and financial controls gave me a good overview of what it takes to operate a company successfully. My strengths are in helping companies understand their operations and financial results with an eye to monitoring profitability. With my small company experience, where one learns to wear many hats, I can help business owners with the various aspects of business they need to consider to be successful.
