The Alternative Board has given me a great opportunity to voice my business issues in a confidential environment and receive constructive feedback that has helped me in many facets of my business. My greatest surprise is the benefit I get by just listening to the issues/concerns that the other board members have. It has resulted in changes to my business that otherwise would have never happened.

The TAB environment allows me to see many new potential opportunities to grow my business to a new level. Sharing ideas with owners from varied industries has given me a totally new perspective for my business, and you can’t put a dollar figure on that.
