NEMEAN SOLUTIONS, LLC EARNS ARIZONA “SUCCESS AWARD” FROM ARIZONA SMALL BUISNESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Sierra Vista, AZ – Nemean Solutions, LLC (Nemean) was selected for its second Small Business Development Center (SBDC) “Success Award.” Nemean CEO Simon E. Ortiz and Senior Program Manager Armando Barnhart attended the Arizona SBDC Network Success Award Ceremony in Phoenix, AZ to accept Nemean’s third AZ SBDC award since 2019 on behalf of the company. Due to COVID restrictions at the time cancelling the ceremony, Nemean also received its physical 2020 Success Award trophy at the yesterday’s ceremony. The SBDC is funded through a cooperative agreement with the US Small Business Administration (SBA) and local community colleges. The AZ SBDC mission is to help launch, grow and sustain small businesses in Arizona. Nemean entered the program through the Cochise College SBDC and started working with Mr. Mark Schmitt, the Cochise College SBDC director, prior to Nemean formally starting business operations. Mr. Schmitt supported Nemean by reviewing its draft business plans, making recommendations for capital, and acting as an advisor for entrepreneurial questions. In addition to the two success awards, Nemean was named the national-level SBDC Veteran-Owned business representative for Arizona in 2021.

“We are honored to be the recipient of the 2022 AZ SBDC Success Award. It is a true reflection of our entire team, from our onsite workforce to our remote corporate support, effort and dedication to providing amazing service to our customers.” said Nemean Solutions’ CEO, Simon E. Ortiz.

When Nemean gets recognized for these awards we get an opportunity to talk to industry leaders and decision makers at all levels of government about our teammates, our employees, our industry partners, and our community partners… we really make it about how these connections have helped us and we have tried to support them.”
