My fellow PAC members have helped me think through a variety of strategic options as I consider new products and applications. I regularly come to the group with new product ideas, and the group challenges me in a constructive and very helpful way. I come away from these sessions with a lot of clarity about how I want to proceed. I also greatly enjoy the PAC Speaker Series. Over the last few months, I have attended events that spoke to Cost Reduction and Compensating High-Performance Management Teams. Once again, I learned a great deal in a relatively short period of time. I am currently using fellow PAC members as an advisory board as I develop new strategies to increase my company’s valuation.

Finally, PAC is a great source of referrals. Recently, I had the need for tax consulting and human resource advice. My PAC Leader and fellow PAC members offered me several qualified candidates that helped me reach a decision more quickly and efficiently than I otherwise would have.

I strongly recommend PAC membership to any business leader to improve their strategy in increasing the value of their company. PAC is an invaluable resource that provides a truly unique experience towards building a highly successful organization."

"To Whom It May Concern:

I have owned and operated my computer training company for 15 years.  While we grew and enjoyed prosperity, there came a time when I realized that I was being consumed by day-to-day problems.  I was spending too much time "putting out fires."  I realized that, if I was to continue to enjoy profitable growth, I was going to need to change how I spend my time and run my business.

Enter PAC.  PAC has energized me to think stategically.  I have had an opportunity to explore what my business might look like, and how it might be structured, to allow for further growth.  Along the way, I have built strong relationships with my fellow PAC members.  All of us feel isolated in our businesses from time to time, and our PAC group provides us all with a sense of empathy and community that enriches us all.

While the PAC meetings are singularly focused on me and my business's development, I have also enjoyed a number of referrals from PAC members and my PAC Leader that have yeielded a number of opportunities to add new clients to our customer list.

2005 was my first year with PAC.  2005 was also a year of record revenues and profits at CTS.  I don't know if this is coincidence or not, but I know that I have made important decisions about my business that have come out of my PAC experience.

If you would like to discuss my experience with PAC, please contact me at (312) 923-2100."
