Fabulous job from beginning to end. I've truly enjoyed
working with you. I believe without exception the entire
process was handled professionally and the result has
produced a model leader from within our community. I certainly
believe that we have taken the first real steps towards
building a strong Chamber for our community for many years
to come.

In 2006, The North Alabama Industrial
Development Association (NAIDA) invited Tim Chason, President
of The Chason Group, Inc., to be the keynote speaker for
our Annual Economic Development Conference. We asked
Tim to address the challenges of working controversial
economic development projects with our audience of professional
economic developers, local elected officials, community
volunteers and leaders. Tim was able to share his
invaluable insights and experience in locating the Anheuser-Busch
Brewery in Cartersville, Georgia. He brought a personal
perspective on how to maintain integrity and focus while
working through conflicts in community priorities and
values. This presentation was very well received
by our audience and was definitely the high-light of our
annual session.
When asked in the conference evaluation form, “What
did you enjoy most about the Conference?” the responses
included: “Tim Chason, excellent speaker who delivered
a great message”; “Tim Chason’s personal
experiences”; and “Tim Chason was great.”
I can not say enough about what Tim Chason did for our
conference. His presentation set the perfect tone
for the rest of the event and left us with a renewed desire
to be better at what we do in our daily lives.

The very first time I met Tim Chason
I knew he would become an important contact for me in
the future. Well it is ten years later and that observation
still holds true. That is exactly why I called upon Tim
to assist the Dalton-Whitfield Development Authority with
its strategic planning. In short order, he had the group
progressing as a team and individually committed to achieving
their goals. Tim has continued to work with the Authority
board members and staff and his guidance has been invaluable.
