Inflection Point
"Pay it Forward" - That is our ethos!Does your small business have an opportunity or challenge you would love to solution?
We have a special program that we have convened for fifteen years. It is focused on helping the President/CEO identify the best actions and options. Over 70 companies have benefitted from this program and the wealth of experience our Mentor Donor members bring to the table.
It is called Inflection Point
In it, we assemble a team of four or five members that meet with a company’s CEO and provide guidance to help them on their journey to success. We expect absolutely no compensation other than the feeling of satisfaction in helping.
