We meet with our Client Advisory Council (CAC) three to four times per year. At each meeting, the CAC provides commentary and feedback on the business as a whole and on upcoming client functions, new office procedures and service levels. Many of their suggestions find their way into our business model – a direct benefit for both current and future clients.
