“I became aware of ARG back in the mid 90’s when I was with the American Corporate Counsel Association (now the Corporate Counsel Association). I cannot tell you how much assistance it was to have someone interface between the phone company and the other vendors. I’m not sure I would have been able to juggle all of those balls without Carol.
After leaving ACCA, I worked as a consultant for a time and mentioned ARG to each and every client of mine as a situation arose that I thought you could help with. Whether it was teleconferencing or long distance service, I would mention your group and ask them to get in touch with you. I found that most organizations I came across hadn’t heard of you, but were glad when they did! I know I worked with Heather Campbell somewhere along the way also.
So, when I arrived at The Obesity Society, I asked ARG to come in and assess what we had in house. I wasn’t confident that anyone before me had been paying attention to costs for long distance, conference calling etc . Meredith did the analysis and said we were pretty good. But, when it came time to see that we were going to leave our existing building and move three blocks, I knew we needed to make some changes for the better and ARG could definitely help us do that.
The move was very labor intensive for me and again having ARG to coordinate the phones and IT, was a tremendous help. They also helped me decipher some of the technical speak some of the other vendors referenced. So, be rest assured that we will continue to use ARG here at TOS and anywhere else I may end up in the future.
Thanks again for all of your help!”
