Star'
The Idaho Small Business Development Center’s Katie Sewell has been

for the Idaho SBDC that is located on the Boise State University campus in
Boise.
“I am pleased to make this announcement and to recognize Katie for
extraordinary contributions to the work of the Idaho SBDC and small business
in Idaho,” said Jim Hogge, Idaho SBDC director.
She was chosen by Hogge for being an exemplary performer, making a
significant contribution to the State SBDC program, and showing a strong
