“Harland is great at what he does. As a Manager for the Small and Minority Business Services Division, Harland has made a great impact with those he works with. He takes pride in his work, cares about the people and community he serves, and is an excellent mentor and guide to any small business that is seeking to make connections or gain support. His strategic ability to host events and workshops with the right speakers and agenda is excellent. He is creative in his outreach efforts, open to trying new things, and stays in constant communication. What I value most about Harland is his integrity and work ethic. He does what he says he will do and that ranks very high in my book.”
