What Members Say About the Value of The Alternative Board TAB®
The TAB board forces a critical re-evaluation of decisions and strategies that make the whole decision-making process better. In addition, my TAB coach helps me work through a lot of the issues along the way, making sure I am looking at the right issues, leading me to re-think and reinvent the company strategically, especially helping me adapt to a quickly changing economic environment by suggesting new approaches.

In reviewing my accomplishments for the past year, I realized that my primary accomplishment was joining TAB, which forced me to commit myself to the growth of my business.
Kyle Davis, nVision Research, Denver, CO
Meeting with my TAB board members, hearing about their issues, and helping them find solutions, forces me to think about my own business in new ways. My TAB board is a good mix of strong individuals who really want to learn and help one another.
John Panasewicz, Clear Choice/Great Western Glycol, Commerce City, CO
Every time I go to a TAB board meeting, even when I don’t think I have time for the meeting and wonder if I’m going to get anything new out of it, I always get something and usually it is what I need at the time. Meeting with other business owners also reassures me that I know how to run a business when I am questioning my abilities. I realize that I have ideas that can help someone else. In addition, one of my TAB members has become a close friend and that is really important to me.
Jimmy Burds, Colographic Inc., Commerce City, Denver Colorado
Bringing family members into my business has been very rewarding, but also presents inevitable challenges. TAB’s Strategic Business Leadership program provided me with the structure to define my personal vision, “look in the mirror” to evaluate our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and then to move my team into action. As I include family and non-family members, my business has benefited in countless ways.
Betty Henderson, Wall Resources, Denver, Colorado
When I am not doing what I need to be doing, the business suffers. Sometimes it’s even difficult to know what I should be doing. I came on the TAB board knowing that I had been re-inventing the wheel, and that there were people who have already been down many of the same roads I’m on. My other resources never were able to go deep enough with me to give me the perspectives I needed. TAB makes me a better business owner and makes my company a better company.
David Emrich, PostModern Company, Denver, CO
Within just a couple of months, I got one tip that saved me an immediate $16,000 and a lot of headaches. Each meeting and coaching session produces new awareness and keeps me on the path that is taking me in the direction I finally need to be on. It's like the MasterCard commercial: Cost of TAB sign-up - $X, Cost of monthly membership - $X, Going to sleep each night feeling assured that my business is on the right track and I have a great support system to back me up--Priceless!
