"I have 30 years of experience in the financial industry, 10 of which I have spent running my own M&A boutique. I wish I had taken this course a decade ago! It was full of practical knowledge designed to help the participants sharpen their M&A skills. I highly recommend taking the course." - Maria Elena Carrion (CM&AA Sept. 2016)

"The CM&AA program really helped me by reinforcing some of things I am doing and gave numerous new tools to deepen my knowledge/understanding that will help us grow our business.  In addition, I met some incredible instructors and attendees expanding my network of professionals and resources.  This was a great investment of time and resources." - George Bachmann (CM&AA Sept. 2016)
