What Local Members Say About the Value of TAB®
“Since I joined TAB a few years ago, our revenues are up 80%. This is in an industry that has remained flat at best. As president, my most important role is planning. Being a part of TAB I am forced to keep my focus on goal-setting and more important, reaching my goals. My participation in TAB has been critical to our achievements.”
Paul McGrath – President, City Fire Equipment Company, East Hanover
“TAB has had tremendous value to me as the president of GBW Insurance. A small business can not attract a formal, compensated board that brings in the tremendous business experience and intellect my TAB board provides me every month.”
Glenn Tippy – President – Gerrity Baker Williams, Flanders
“My experience in TAB has forced me to think about things that I never would have in the hectic pace of day to day business. The decisions I've made as a result have paid real benefits. Too often I have needed advice from other business owners and TAB has given that to me."
Stanley Omland – President, Omland Engineering, Inc., Cedar Knolls
“Soon after joining TAB, Hurricane Katrina wiped out over half of our firm’s inventory and had potentially devastating impact for the future of our business. Six month’s later, I can state with total confidence that in addition to the hard work of our employees, the council and advice I received from my TAB Board allowed our company not only to survive but to become a stronger, healthier business. It never ceases to amaze me, given the range in differences of our types of business, the commonalities that exist with our “issues du jour.”
Eugene Amici – President, Henry P. Thomson Inc., Mendham
“TAB has helped me to remain focused on moving our company forward by following our strategic objectives rather than getting side tracked by the day-to-day grind. We now have a clear vision for Martab and remain focused on its achievement. The wealth of knowledge, experience and advice that you get from other members is unmatched anywhere.”
Anthony Marmo – President, Martab Medical, Inc., Lincoln Park
“TAB Educational programs have been an enlightening resource to me. I have been exposed to strategies I did not even consider or know could be applied. It’s hard to keep up with the best current thinking and findings regarding business leadership. These sessions bring it to me in ways I can use. It’s always well worth my time.”
Ken Fox, President, Fox Architectural Design, PC
"TAB has helped me keep my company and myself focused on our sales growth. We have recommitted to marketing efforts that have worked in the past instead of waiting for business to come to us. As a result we are on track towards having our best year ever."
Barbara Keil – President, Keil Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., Riverdale
"In 2004, 12 years after starting my business, I found TAB just as I was considering forming a traditional Board of Directors. Joining TAB was easy and my participation has successfully led me through the process of creating a true corporate structure that frees me to focus on strategic planning and growth. Before TAB, I laid my hand on virtually every aspect of the day-to-day operations. Now, I’m able to leave for a 2-week vacation and return with the business running as smoothly as when I left."
Don Miller – President, Diamond Graphics, Inc., Rockaway
"In the period of time I've been with TAB, I have changed the way I operate my business for the better. I wouldn't have done this without my TAB Board and I have gotten real bottom-line improvements as a result."
Bob Berry – President, R&J Control, Inc., Dover
"Being a part of TAB forces me to spend time working on my business. Preparation for my private sessions with the facilitator and the monthly board meetings provide a real deadline and impetus to get done what I want and need to. A wealth of expertise, advice and “been there, done that” is icing on the cake. I have found resources that come with genuine references from people who care about my company’s success. From cost savings to service upgrades, that kind of resource is in a word – “priceless.”
Doon Wintz – President, Run-A-Ton Group, Morristown
“Having been with the same company (now President) for all 32 years of my career, my business management experience has been self-active and virtually independent of outside influence. That all changed when I joined a TAB group. Not only was there immediate bottom-line impact from day one, I now have increasing confidence (and results) in managing my company through some extremely challenging times for my industry. This is a great resource for discipline, accountability and motivation.”
Steve Byszewski, President, SESI Consulting Engineers, Pine Brook
"Our monthly meetings encourage me to think about the business at a higher level, and prod me to take necessary actions. We all share the same issues when it comes to personnel management, financing, the provision of benefits, and a host of other issues. TAB participation has helped me save on my costs, make difficult hiring/firing decisions, and to provide a more formal management framework to my business. This is always well worth the time.”
Mark Bograd, President, Bograd’s Furniture, Riverdale
“Through my involvement with the TAB board, fellow members have provided direct and valuable insights which have greatly assisted me. Their help enabled me to make very tough and critical decisions. More important, I was then able to make these things happen quickly.”
Cindy Sullivan, COO, Certified Valuations, Randolph
