I have attended Entrepreneur’s Connection meetings over the past several years. I am impressed with the sharing of ideas and talents of the membership. The sessions are well worth the investment in time as you look to grow your business.

EC does a fabulous job of engaging entrepreneurs in the daunting tasks of
business creation, customer acquisition, income generation and growth. For me it has served as a source for inspiring, engaging stories of entrepreneurship for a regional newspaper readership. The assistance EC provides to proposed or startup enterprises is inspiring.

Entrepreneur's Connection has always been a safe place for business owners,
especially sole proprietors, to talk about the ups and downs of having one's own
business. And the members are and have been, wonderful people, whose opinions I respect.

I have had an incredibly positive experience with EC. When I was just starting my business, I found a wealth of knowledge, expertise and most of all, a warm welcome, with them. I made lasting connections with many of the participants and continue to work
closely with some of them on a regular basis. If you are looking for a supportive environment with people who want you to succeed as much as you want yourself to succeed, look no further than Entrepreneurs Connection.

EC was one of my first memberships when I moved to the Reading area. I saw it as an ideal way to meet other business owners at various stages in their business development activities. It provided insights into the opportunities and problems common to most businesses as well as the means of addressing both. EC has also recognized the need to develop new resources for its members through alliances and other programs so as to meet the challenges posed by the ever-changing marketplace and its growing reliance on emerging technologies. All in all, EC provides an ideal environment for both startups and established businesses to share useful information and establish valuable contacts. I would highly recommend it.
