I believe that you really cannot put a "price tag" on the information received at this conference. At the same time, you really can explain how it feels to be around intelligent successful prople that were minority also and yet they made it or persevered to reach a certain level of success. The Executive Networking Conference is best described as "Inspiring". I will plan each year to be in attendance and allow that time there to feed my thoughts on how I will continue to move our company to new heights."

- Michael Phillips, Owner/CEO & Alan Cassell, Owner/COO, PhillipsCassell

"We found the speeches and discussions both inspirational and very much relevant in these times. What struck me the most was the level of commitment to diversity from the participating organizations and the willingness of people at all levels to genuinely help each other."

"...a well planned and informative training session that continues to attract a high caliber and increasingly diverse group of minority businesses. I was approached by several individuals whom attended and expressed their gratitude relative to the opportunity to "recharge their batteries" in a challenging business environment. I believe that a strong testament to the value of ENC is that we have many businesses that have been regulars for many years and even in these tough times they felt it was worthwhile to attend."

- Michael Suggs, Board Chair, Goler CDC

"...thank you for a wonderful conference.  I really enjoyed everything..."

- Carletta Waddler, President & CEO, Eco Maintenance, LLC

"I want to congratulate you again for the success of ENC; the level of speakers, content and networking was superior.  I attend a lot of conferences in a given year (on the MBE as well as the WBE side).  ENC was clearly one of the best I have ever attended...I met so many high-caliber people that I am committed to staying in touch with, and have already been positioned for business opportunities with 2 firms I interacted with while there."
