14. Performance Reports Guiding Principles: • Narrative represents the Lead Center’s assessment of YTD accomplishments and challenges • Not simply a listing of activities completed to date • Organize narrative by reporting categories shown in Program Announcement • 0100 Capital Formation; 0200 Innovation and Technology Assistance, 0300 International Trade, etc. • Be concise, but complete • 25 page limit on semi-annual progress report • 50 page limit on cumulative annual report

15. Performance Reports Required content: • Summarize efforts in delivering core services. Include managerial analysis. • Measure performance against negotiated goals (include a table with % achieved during the reporting period), and • Discuss achievement or challenges in meeting planned milestones. How did you do it? • If goals were not met, describe reasons for slippage and how you plan to improve outcomes • Highlight specific accomplishments & impacts generated under each reporting category listed in Section 6.3.3. • Success Stories - Summarize at least 3 stories in Category 1500. Attach or provide links to stories with photos, artwork etc. if desired. • Include resumes for any new key personnel described in Category 2000 • Financial status - use Category 2200 to explain cost overruns, match shortfalls, etc. reflected on financial reports

Of this total, 44 were Service-Disabled Veteran customers who had 157 sessions for a total of 144 contact and prep hours. • A regional director conducted three, Boots to Business workshops at F.E. Warren AFB in Cheyenne. Two regional directors maintain the ability to provide the Boots to Business curriculum. The PTAC also presented in each of these events. Two regional directors attended the SBA/VBOC ReBoot held in Sheridan on September 15th, 2015. One director gave a presentation on the business resources available to Wyoming small businesses. • During its program year, the PTAC achieved six initial sessions and 99 follow-up sessions with veteran-owned and service disabled veteran-owned businesses. PTAC information is provided here as reference; PTAC activity is reported directly to the Defense Logistics Agency. • Management Comments: The Wyoming SBDC continues to provide the majority of assistance to Boots to Business workshops at F.E. Warren AFB. Veterans are recognized for their contributions at our annual conference during the opening ceremonies. We make every effort to market to and assist veterans in Wyoming. This past year we made a connection with the University of Wyoming Veterans Service Center Coordinator to further this effort and will provide his center with educational services as necessary and one-on-one advising for referred veterans.

21. Good Example: Category 0200: Innovation, Tech Transfer and Tech Assistance Table shows volume of assistance and impact Narrative tells us how/why they succeeded

22. Good ExampleCategory 1200 - Research • Research on behalf of clients was performed by SBDCNET in San Antonio, Texas. The Small Business Development Center National Information Clearinghouse (SBDCNET) mission is to meet the information needs of the SBDC community in the United States and its territories. SBDCNET serves as a resource providing comprehensive secondary market research from a variety of databases and web-based resources. A total of 33 research requests totaling 66 hours of research for the network were performed by the research center at SBDCNet. The internal research program hosted 8-12 research interns throughout the first half of the year. The interns completed another 50 research reports for clients with 108 client sessions totaling 1,218 hours of research. • To this point, every academic institution that the Network has approached has indicated excitement about the intern program and has applauded the unique structure, training, and benefits of the student interns. Beginning in June, a select number of interns were taken through the first two modules of the CBA process. The training included Conflict of Interest, confidentiality, and basic client counseling. This initiative is in response to the need for some interns to take a more active role in interfacing with clients that have submitted research requests.
