Dear William, I met with Ms Owens and talked with her for about one hour. Ms. Owens was very helpful and discussed information and ideas that will be helpful to me as I move forward with my business plans. Thank you for connecting me to Ms. Owens and for making it possible for me to get assistance with my business with experienced entrepreneurs.

I personally, find CAAO quite useful with its calendar of events, especially events and meetings relating to business operations. It is also a wonderful source for information on grants, fellowships, and various workshops.
— Kim Fox, Founder - CleveEvents

Thank you for the opportunity CAAO provided me to attend the OVA luncheon. I had an opportunity to network with a few individuals that I plan to keep in touch with. I also would like to take this opportunity to thank your organization for being such a great resource.
— Vanessa Davis

William thank you so very much for the efforts you are making on my behalf. Timing is everything! CAAO is really doing great work. You have been a contentious “rainmaker”. You have done EXACTLY what you said you would do, and you have done it in a very timely manner.

William if it hadn’t been for our conversation at the CAAO Golf Clinic, I never would have known about the JCU Entrepreneurs Association. I am looking forward to the networking and growth opportunities this group will bring.

Connie, thank you for attending our 'Success School' and sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience in the areas of Networking and Building Relationships, in addition to all of your advice about board membership and incorporating innovation. We appreciate your willingness to adapt to the change in program, and your decision to stay and speak with our membership made the whole effort worthwhile.

I don’t know who idea this was to have the Executive Auction, but they should receive the highest praise. I had dinner with Dr. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart as a result of the auction and it was one of the best times I have had in a while. She seemed to enjoy herself as well. We talked and talked and talked!!! I learned so much from her.
— Brenda Ellis

As a result of CAAO, I had the opportunity to meet with staff members at NEORSD to discuss partnering on a project.
— Helen Copeland, Copeland Communications Group

William you are a gem. Your support means the world to me. Thank you.
