Client Advisory Board

It’s not lost on us that many of the clients with whom we work at the Center bring to our process extensive life, career, and educational experience. While we treasure and appreciate each and every one of our clients and all of your feedback, we created the Client Advisory Board to highlight and honor those who have voluntarily contributed hours of brain-power, creativity, and honesty, calling on their careers/training/experience/education to improve and refine our process.

This is our expression of our deep appreciation for these individuals, their attributes and for their willingness to share such treasures with us.
