Kentucky Small Business Development Center Selects Rick Horn as State Star

9/25/2007

Kentucky Small Business Development Center (KSBDC) State Director Becky Naugle, Ph.D. announced that Rick Horn has been selected as the 2007 Sutton Landry State Star of the Kentucky SBDC.  Horn received the award at the Association of Small Business Development Center’s (ASBDC) national conference held in Denver, Colorado during September.

“I am pleased to make this announcement, and to recognize Rick Horn for extraordinary contributions to the work of the Kentucky SBDC and small businesses in Western Kentucky,” said Naugle.

Rick Horn is the Director of the Small Business Development Center at Western Kentucky University.  He was chosen by the KSBDC for being an exemplary performer, making a significant contribution to the KSBDC program and showing a strong commitment to small business throughout Western Kentucky. 

“It is an honor to accept this award,” said Horn, “and, to have the opportunity to help so many people achieve the dream of starting and succeeding in their own business.”

The State Star Award is named in honor of Sutton Landry, the long-time director of the SBDC at Northern Kentucky University.  He was honored with the award in 2003 and passed away the following year.
