Has dealing with this organization been a good experience? 

The traffic is always heavy in these areas which makes turnover a bit easier than more rural locations.

The contractor didn't want to pick them - it was a 15 mile drive (in California traffic, this would take a lot of time).

Whoever gave this person “women of the year award” should be sued for doing zero due diligence on this person I agree, please report that organization which is POWER magazine

It all depends on the scope of work and your available time to put towards organizing and finding the right contractors. 

It is discussed at most of these meet ups I go to (usually in the networking that is before and after the organized meeting).  

I would add to get and keep your finances very organized.

Meanwhile, Paces clients very slowly build up their capital, but we all know the majority will spend it and come right back to the group to let Paces organization fund it so he continues building his wealth from all of these "gators".Do I get annoyed hearing about this every day..YES..Do I think it was a great form of revenue for Pace..YES. 

Not a hoarder, he's organized.

Other examples include Habitat for Humanity, local veterans organizations, etc.
