Testimonials
“I just wanted to drop everyone a quick note of congratulations to everyone on a high quality program yesterday, both in terms of speakers and content! I know my attendees were very impressed and, given that this was my first time attending and participating, so was I! Yesterday’s experience only reinforced my belief that TEI is a fantastic fit in terms of what we’re seeking in the way COI partners and networking opportunities. I also appreciated the chance to participate in the Succession Planning workshop so thanks very much for including me.
I was thrilled to come back to the office today to share my positive reviews and experience with my team and look forward to building upon this event to contribute more heavily to TEI’s success in the future.”

“We have been involved in various ventures over the past 10 years, yet this Network is a wealth of new information, as well as bringing the personal perspectives of a highly talented core group together…; no small task.”

“I was a member of TEI for more than 11 years (from 2005 to 2016) with my previous company, Techcess Group. During those years we signed many customers through referrals and annual events and enjoyed our relationship with TEI and all its members. Following the sale of my company to Konica Minolta/ All Covered I got out of the group and just joined again in September 2018 with my new company, Techcess CyberSecurity Group. After just 3 months and especially following the October event, we signed 2 great customers, which greatly kicked off our company’s business development activities! I am sure we will sign several others in 2019, thanks to all your great networking events and referral relationships. Thanks again for all you do for us!”

“It was a terrific day yesterday and I was proud to be part of the Metro DC TEI team. I thought we presented well in all the break outs I attended and that the (CEO) guests gained a lot of value from the day.”

“I very much enjoyed participating in the TEI Boston Forum and breakout session concerning Recruiting and Retaining Talent. The morning’s opening remarks were interesting and the Q&A sessions indicated to me the participants’ desire for interactive presentations. The breakout session in which I participated was very interactive and I think the CEOs valued the participation and the opportunity to speak to each other and share ideas just as much as they appreciated hearing from the panel. I know I learned some things from both the panel and participants!”

“Other CEOs are in a unique position to provide objective, “I’ve been there before” advice and vision that you just can’t get from someone that hasn’t been a CEO. We’ve only been in the CEO Network for a short period of time but we’ve already adjusted our business plan and implemented processes that solved problems and increased sales.”

“It was a pleasure for me to participate in the Network, and I was honored to have been asked. It seems to me from having attended in a prior year and my participation this year that there is definitely a niche being filled by your group…I was impressed by the quality of people involved.”
