How often do we meet someone and give them our 30 second commercial, or as some would call it, “the elevator speech” and get various reactions?

When we work together and evaluate their financial data it’s an eye opening experience for them. The financial health of an organization affects every other component.
I believe domestic violence can be nearly eradicated from our society. It won’t be easy by any stretch of the imagination, and it won’t happen overnight. As domestic violence occurrences decline, so will many other crimes. We’ll all live safer more secure lives.
