“I just wanted to express my appreciation for what a great initiative you have started with the Small Business Owners Roundtable. Frankly, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get involved in yet another networking group, but you have managed to make it very worthwhile. I have learned a lot from every session which is very relevant and useful for my business. I know it takes a lot of hard work to organize and manage this group so I truly appreciate your time, skills, and leadership. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.”
