Board of Directors

Julie Needs and the SOD Center have been a critical partner of Salem Welding & Supply over the past decade. Without their help we would have struggled with knowing what grants and resources were available to us. We trusted them to help our growth as we made a land / building acquisition in 2015, and now we trust them to lead us in our new expansion, almost doubling our size & capability!

The SOD Center is my first choice when facilitating training and development opportunities for area businesses. The location, training room options, and onsite technology collectively create the optimal space for all my training needs.

We support all businesses, small and large, to attract, retain, expand and develop. We help build entrepreneurship, provide training facilities and connect you with the right resources – while collaborating with regional, state and national resources. We are all Growing in Salem.

The (SOD Training Center) staff always goes above and beyond to ensure our area businesses, employees, and training facilitators have the tools and resources they need to create a positive learning environment.

SOD center is an excellent resource for professional training. Classes are well structured and tremendous benefit for development of local workforce.
