With so many of us building our own businesses, working on side hustles, and creating new inventions, we often need our own space that also allows us to engage with other entrepreneurs. PGCSIF Advisory Board Member, Tami Mullen, built Clout from the ground up when she saw a need to provide space filled with positive affirmations and energy. Even startups like WeWork experience massive upheaval but that isn't stopping them from offering us membership perks. Perfect Office Solutions, founded by a local resident, is the new home of PGCSIF and we wanted to share our digs with you too. Check them out and let them know you're part of the PGCSIF Family!
