David Tally
RCC SBDC Business Advisor, since 2007
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the loss of David Tally, who passed away unexpectedly in October, 2022.
David joined the RCC SBDC team in 2007, having formerly worked as a trainer and business counselor for SOWAC. David also owned Tally Media Group. He spent over 30 years in the marketing industry, 20 of which were with an international printing franchise company as a development and business consultant.
During David’s tenure with the SBDC, he provided advising support to 2500 businesses that led to numerous business starts and jobs created throughout the Rogue Valley. David sat on many non-profit boards in our local community and was active with both the Grants Pass and Medford Chambers of Commerce.
We will miss David’s leadership, kindness and passion for the Southern Oregon business community.
