Press Release: Kloske Named Center Director
The UAH College of Business is proud to announce Michelle Kloske as the new Director and Senior Business Advisor of the Alabama SBDC at UAH. A UAH alumna with a BSBA in Accounting, Michelle has served as a Senior Business Advisor since 2019 and has been a tremendous resource to small business owners across North Alabama. In 2022, she was recognized by America’s SBDC with the Alabama State Star Award as the top advisor in the state.
In her new role, she will continue working directly with entrepreneurs while leading the SBDC team in delivering measurable results aligned with the performance standards of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Her experience as both a small business owner and senior advisor uniquely positions her to guide clients at every stage of business growth.
This leadership transition also marks a fresh chapter for our office. Now fully settled into our new home in the Business Administration Building (BAB 126) within the UAH College of Business, the SBDC is energized and focused on strengthening service to the North Alabama business community. Being located on campus enhances our ability to connect clients with university resources, faculty expertise, and student engagement opportunities.
As we move forward in this next phase, we invite both new and returning clients to connect with our team. Whether you are launching a venture, navigating growth, or exploring new opportunities, the Alabama SBDC at UAH provides confidential, no-cost advising and training designed to help you start, manage, grow, and compete.
To schedule an in-person meeting at our campus location, please contact your advisor directly. You can also visit www.uah.edu/sbdc/events or www.asbdc.org to register for upcoming programs.
We look forward to welcoming you to campus and continuing to support the success of entrepreneurs throughout our region.
