Develop, coordinate and deliver all activities related to recruitment of scholars and alumni activities for the 10,000 Small Businesses program in Iowa.

The 10,000 Small Businesses (10KSB) initiative is part of a national investment by the Goldman Sachs Foundation to unlock the growth and job creation potential of small businesses, and is based on the broadly held view of leading experts that a combination of education, business support services, and access to capital best addresses the barriers to growth for small businesses.

The 10,000 Small Businesses program is comprised of three main components: business education, business support services (technical assistance and customized, one-on-one business advice) and the opportunity to access capital. The ultimate goal of the initiative is for the participating business owners to increase their revenues and create jobs in their community and surrounding areas.

The educational component of the 10,000 Small Businesses initiative is delivered through a partnership with the Iowa Community Colleges and administered by DMACC. Two 12-week cohorts of approximately 40 small business owner participants each are run each year, resulting in approximately 80 alumni annually. The Iowa program is currently in its fifth cohort.

Design, develop and execute strategies and systems to attract, recruit and track recruitment of applicants statewide throughout the recruitment cycle. Plan, organize and execute events, workshops, networking sessions, and webinars. Achieve recruitment goals required for successful program outcomes. Build referral pipelines for applicants.

Represent the Iowa 10,000 Small Businesses program in the entrepreneurial and business community in Iowa, networking and forming relationships with others who are providing support and services for small business growth. Work collaboratively with Iowa and national 10KSB partners to support initiatives and curriculum delivery as needed to small and large groups. Gather data and prepare reports and evaluation of activities.

Serve as the main liaison to program graduates throughout Iowa. Identify and respond to alumni needs.
