3/26/14 - When one door closes, another opens. Thatâs the attitude a local business leader with an entrepreneurial spirit is taking in announcing her resignation from the organization sheâs led for the past six years following news of its pending closure due to regional consolidation. Director and certified business consultant Nancy M. Johnson announced that she will be resigning effective March 31st from her position with the Michigan Small Business Development Center Livingston Satellite Office. Johnson says realizing a new state regionalization program would result in the closure of the Livingston satellite office really took away her motivation to finish out the year, so she decided to go ahead and resign. However, Johnson tells WHMI sheâs very optimistic about the future and knows great things lay ahead following her nearly seven years in serving as director. Johnson says she has a very creative and entrepreneurial spirit, which was reflected in how the local satellite office was run so itâs really the right time to move into the private sector where she can work with a business and be part of a team. The Livingston satellite office was the last one operating in the region and its numerous accomplishments under Johnsonâs leadership are detailed in a press release, which is attached below. Johnson says the Michigan Small Business Development Center is a fantastic organization with great tools and resources and in the future as part of the new regionalization program, the team will be headquartered in one location in Washtenaw Community College with service centers to cover six counties. Livingstonâs will be located in the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce board room. (JM)
