That's what the grapevine says. Haven't seen anything official though.

The Louisiana Small Business Development Center (LSBDC) was one of the best networks in the nation, but under the current state director, it has lost most of its luster. I'm sure ULM's decision, IF TRUE, has more to do with budget constraints than the LSBDC not performing up to former standards. Because, if they were really concerned about performance they would have severed connections with this director years ago.
