“If you want something done, ask a busy person.” Audrey Scott-Hynson, president and CEO of A. Scott Enterprises, LLC, exemplifies that adage. She was recently honored by the City of Wilmington as a Small Business Champion for her work with small, minority and disabled business owners.
A lifelong entrepreneur and educator, Scott-Hynson serves as an adjunct professor at Delaware State University program manager for the university’s Food Business Incubation Center and director of the Center for Business Growth (CBG) at the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute.
In her role with the CBG, she recruits and mentors aspiring micro- and small business owners, working one-on-one with these entrepreneurs over the course of 18 months, helping them to build the business skills and confidence they need to succeed.
“Audrey’s experience as an educator, coupled with her business acumen and natural leadership skills has taken the CBG to a new level,” says Delaware Financial Literacy Institute Executive Director Ronni Cohen. “She is an asset both to our organization and to the hundreds of individuals she’s helped.”
In addition to her work with adults, Scott-Hynson finds time to educate and mentor the business leaders of tomorrow through Del State’s Delaware Center for Enterprise Development Junior Entrepreneurs in Training program and the Delaware Adolescent Program, Inc.
Founded as The Money School in 1999 by then- State Treasurer Jack Markell, DFLI incorporated in 2001 and opened its office in 2002. Since that time, DFLI has provided more than 7,000 free classes, events and programs statewide.
