Impact Report

My only regret in joining the GRCA is that I didn’t do it sooner. I have grown my small business via the GRCA in many ways: I have gained new clients at networking events I have attended and through soft introductions provided by Melissa Hassler, Membership Coordinator. I have also connected with fellow GRCA members, such as Interlace Communications, to expertly manage my website and Rockhound Apparel to create apparel that highlights our logo.

I also took advantage of the GRCA trip to Spain which was a fabulous vacation and provided me with 48 new friends/contacts.
