As a Branch Manager and decision maker I can  honestly say that through membership of the TCEA I have had an opportunity to do business, either directly or on a referral basis with 50 percent of our members but more importantly are the many friendships I have gained which are truly priceless and nothing can compare to having Breakfast on a Tuesday morning followed with an evening Social with some of  the top business leaders in the community. Membership provides an opportunity to exchange ideas and gain additional business opportunities before others know they even exist. Consistently our members exchange leads and referrals and are able to seek and give valuable advise built upon friendships and trust from like minded individuals.

In 2008, I joined the Treasure Coast Executives Association (TCEA) after I was invited to make an application by one of its founding members.  Immediately, I was struck by the collegial atmosphere the members shared together.  These members were the owners and decision makers of Treasure Coast businesses.  They openly shared their experiences (both successes and any concerns).  I found myself drawn into this extraordinary collection of people who were all dedicated to the success of their businesses and of the TCEA.  When possible, they share services and referrals within the group.  This is not a group looking to simply pass business cards around.  TCEA members are serious business owners.  Membership also brings a membership in the International Executives Association which provides access to business owners in another 50+ associations in the U.S. and Canada.  Personally, my business has realized significant success due to referrals from TCEA members.  I say to any perspective member – you need to have a great reason for you not join TCEA.
