The following are actual quotes from local TAB members. All are leaders of their respective companies.
“For me TAB was the answer to the feeling of isolation that we have as owners. The private sessions with my TAB Certified Facilitator, among other things, assist me in focusing and balancing my personal and business goals. TAB has been a critical element of my personal and my company’s success.”Marti Turocy, Quality Systems Integrators, Eagle, PA “Fellow members are interested in the long-term personal and business success of the group. Understanding this, it should not surprise you that there have been times when I addressed certain actions only because I did not want to face my fellow members at the next month’s meeting without having implemented suggestions that I had committed to follow. As a CEO, I consider this “peer pressure” a valuable motivator.”Robert Pickard, Underwriting Specialists, Inc., Ft. Washington, PA The monthly group meetings are something to look forward to. There are spontaneous humorous moments, as well as deeply serious business and personal moments. The friendships that have developed among my fellow TAB members are based upon mutual respect and support on both a personal and professional level.”Brian Hessler, Hessler Enterprises, Elkins Park, PA I refer to my TAB Board as my “financial and management psychological Board”. It’s the place where I can openly discuss issues affecting my business, get ideas to resolve situations that come up prior to each meeting, and get the support that I need when I feel less than optimally motivated.”Nissen Isakov, LCR Electronics, Inc., Norristown, PA “I openly discuss confidential problems and issues with my TAB board – matters I don’t discuss with anyone else in my company, or even with my CPA or attorney. The result is feedback that I get no other way.”Steven Scharr, Metal Sales and Service, Kennett Sqaure, PA “The suggestions from TAB members helped me solve a problem threatening my business by coming up with ideas I hadn’t even considered.”Paul Fairchild, Fairchild Management Associates, Chester Springs, PA Private sessions with my TAB Certified Facilitator have helped me analyze my business better.”Julie Kronenberg, Vicker’s Tavern, Lionville, PA “My TAB Certified Facilitator is a valuable consultant. He helps me make strategic decisions and evaluate business alternatives.”Dan Scully, American Environmental Enterprises, West Chester, PA “Membership in TAB has helped me develop more focused marketing plans and the meetings with Board members give me useful ideas for helping my business grow.”Michelle Giardino, Crossroad Solutions, Exton, PA "I have experienced tremendous value through the sharing of opportunities and challenges in a confidential and supportive environment. We share similar challenges and enjoy incredibly similar opportunities. We mutually encourage and advise, drawing from our diverse experience."Jeff Williams, Triple H Construction Co., Lancaster, PA "The challenges of growing one's business are universal.

It makes all the difference in just making a profit or growing a healthy business."Joanne Morton, Morton Fine Furniture, Lancaster, PA "My experience with TAB has been extremely rewarding. I have become more focused and task oriented due to the accountability I have to other board members and myself. The commitment of the entire board to help each other is exhilarating.
