Meet our facilitator:
Tom Trone, SCORE Quad Cities Certified Mentor and University of Iowa Venture School faculty member, will facilitate this first in a series of roundtable discussions focused on the near-term needs of local restaurant and bar owners. SCORE QCA mentors help many local foodservice businesses today including counseling owners as they navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 shutdown. Trone has extensive experience in many industry sectors including foodservice. He and his wife Sue, who is also a SCORE mentor, have owned and operated several restaurants.
