The Sub Group leader @Matt Faircloth and @Elizabeth Faircloth and Paul Margaritis run this Sub Group.  

@Randy Dougherty I use Listsource as well, from what I have seen on various threads they seem to be an industry leader.

Elliott Kelley the leader of it is a smart guy for sure with a considerable amount of experience.  

FYI, on scaling up, I have followed few thought leaders in self storage such as @Scott Meyers and @Michael Wagner and they seem to have made complete transition from MFH to SS so I am also looking to skip MFH and so it will be helpful insight from someone making that transition now. 

We have been leaders for Crown Financial Ministries over the years and we are very conservative with how we handle our money.  

I'm sure if you attend a meeting or reach out to one of the group leaders they may be able to recommend someone for you.

Spread the word around BP Nation to come comment and vote on this thread Pamela, we need a great response in order to convince Josh our leader and we are not there yet.

See if they have anything appropriate for you.Ask who your resources are when you're new.....broker/team leader/coach/mentor/buddy/ or someone else....how easy are they to reach....can you test that?
