“I am very pleased with Gary Bess Associates. GBA assisted me with my SAC [Service Area Competition] application and I was successful in securing my grant. They were very professional but not stoically. Very personably and made me feel like I could trust them to do the job completely. They were very timely and truly availed themselves to make sure the product was well representative of the company and meeting all of the requirements. Very knowledgeable of the EHB which was much needed for me since I was very new to my position.”
