WWU appoints new director for SBDC

Western Washington University’s College of Business and Economics has opened a new Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Bellingham and hired Jennifer Shelton as the director.

Shelton comes to Bellingham from the Edmonds Community College SBDC, and has worked in the field of business development and research for 17 years, including a stint at the Center for Economic Development (CEV).

“It’s great to be back in Bellingham and Whatcom County. There are few business communities that have as diverse and interesting to work with as this one; it’s going to be very rewarding to be a part of it again,” she said.
