Cotham was nominated by Robert Hamlin, RISBDC state director. Hamlin noted that Cotham “has established strong linkages between the RISBDC and the business community of Rhode Island.” Hamlin said Cotham is highly regarded by the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, where his office is located, and by many other business partners in the greater Providence area, including The Center for Design and Business, the Center for Women & Enterprise, and the Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers Association.
“Cotham is always willing to assist clients at various business cycles to grow their business to the next level,” Hamlin said. “Client evaluations indicate a high-level of client service satisfaction with the Providence SBDC office. They felt that the office has provided them with invaluable counseling and customer service.”
Cotham is a resident of North Kingstown.
