"Janet and I are typical business owners who have worked hard in relative isolation seeking to educate ourselves about our industry and business at large to protect and secure our future and that of our family. Being accepted into the Executive Advisory Board program was an instant success for us. Sharing our goals, plans and economic observations concerning our business with successful local professional business people from other industries has been immediately helpful to us. During this first year we have received valuable advice concerning personnel, advertising and market conditions that has greatly assisted us as our construction industry adjusts to a different set of economic conditions. We highly recommend participation in this program to any and all businesses."
