Congratulations to Solano-Napa SBDC Director, Tim Murrill!

Tim Murrill, the director of the Solano-Napa SBDC, was recently honored with the prestigious California Small Business Development Center State Star Award!

The Star Award, one of the highest recognitions from the SBDC, recognizes individuals and centers that show exceptional dedication and contributions to the small business community.

Murrill was selected as the NorCal SBDC awardee based on the impressive growth and milestones the Solano-Napa SBDC center has experienced under his leadership.

“This has been such a professional honor for me, but it’s also not something I could have ever achieved alone,” he said. “We have an incredible team and community within the Solano-Napa SBDC - over 30 business advisors, all our local partners from every city in Solano and Napa, our host, the Workforce Development Board of Solano County, and of course, our clients, the business owners who inspire us every day. They are why we do what we do.”
