SCORE Success in Action

From Success In Action: Tina Martin Personal Histories

"I was committed to helping families preserve the priceless legacy of their stories on audio, video or as written biographies, for their children and the generations to come. Realizing that there was a need for the services that I could provide, I came up with the idea of creating Tina Martin Personal Histories.

What I didn't realize was that I was about to embark on a relationship with an organization that would change my life. My early meetings with SCORE advisors gave me the encouragement I needed to develop Tina Martin Personal Histories."
