MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Ted Abernathy, Orange County Economic Development Comm. <br />FROM: Dan Parks, UNC -SBTDC <br />SUBJECT: Client Impact Evaluation <br />DATE: May 28, 1992 <br />PREFACE <br />For some time, we have had ongoing discussions concerning the <br />positive impact that the UNC -SBTDC strives for on behalf of our cli- <br />ents. This is of special interest to us in Orange County due to our <br />relationship with your office and the establishment of our new Central <br />Carolina Regional Center in Chapel Hill. <br />On Wednesday, May 26, you requested an impact evaluation which <br />would address the numbers and types of businesses with whom we are <br />consulting. Importantly also, you requested some anecdotal information <br />on certain clients which would be representative of positive impact. <br />As a start, I have included data for all of 1991 and the first <br />' quarter of 1992 in the manner we discussed yesterday. Once you have <br />digested this information, we can discuss further how to make this <br />reporting increasingly meaningful to you. <br />#Clients <br />Contact Hours <br />CLIENT STATISTICS <br />1991 <br />123 <br />530 (4.3 hrs. per) <br />1st QTR <br />1992 <br />43 <br />232 (1.9 hrs. per) <br />Prep.
