"Dave has been a good partner and loyal friend of our chamber for over three years. He is directly instrumental in the planning and implementation of our business seminar series. He has a great conceptual understanding of the business market and their need for solid and imaginative ideas. We work on the 'curriculum' and Dave goes out and gets the best presenters in the region from his superb stable of contacts, organizes the training and serves as moderator. Selfless and creative Dave puts a lot of energy into everthing he does and consistently delivers outstanding results."
