My TABBoard has been an incredible forum for brainstorming the business of business - staffing,
marketing, growth and strategy - how to and how not to do these best for my business. There's a
level of openness, creativity and objectivity that you just can't get anywhere else.
Ted Brennan, T.M. Brennan Contractors Inc, Hamburg, NJ

I own a retail business and margins are everything. When first approached to join TAB, I had
difficulty in quantifying the return on investment. After I joined, however, it became apparent that
I couldn't afford NOT to be a member. Each meeting and coaching session produces new awareness
and keeps me on the path that is taking me in the direction I finally need to be on. It's like the
MasterCard commercial: Cost of TAB sign-up - $X; Cost of monthly membership - $Y; Going to
sleep each night feeling assured that my business is on the right track, and I have a great support
system to back me up? Priceless!
Mike Campbell, Dales Markets, Blairstown, NJ and Branchville, NJ

My TAB membership experience has been very beneficial. I found that dissimilar industries all
experience similar obstacles. The TAB board structure gives me the opportunity to share my
situations with other business owners and executives who freely offer their thoughts for solutions in a
candid and open format. TAB helps me refocus myself to working on my business and not just in it!
Richard Gaynor, Middleton & Company Insurance, Newton, NJ

Diversity, experience, and commitment to personal and professional development are key elements
of our TAB Board. Our facilitator and the process keep us grounded and accountable while we
leverage the creativity, wisdom, and focus within our monthly meetings and coaching sessions. TAB
has provided me the support and tools I need as a small business owner to make intelligent decisions
effectively and efficiently.

Since joining TAB, I feel more invigorated about my business than I have in years; it’s the one
meeting a month I really look forward to. I love the fresh straightforward perspective and advice my
board provides. Regardless of size, we all face the same basic challenges. It helps immensely to
have a peer group to share ideas and concerns with.
Paula Lavorgna, Newton Screen, Franklin, NJ

Through TAB, I’ve gotten advice ranging from financial to human resource to marketing and
strategic direction. My business is stronger in a tougher market and continues to grow. This is the
best business group investment I have made. Each month my board provides ideas and perspectives
that I cannot get anywhere else - my coach then helps me implement them and the entire process
holds me accountable to myself and to the others.
