Dr. Deborah Owens,

“I have been fortunate to use the outstanding facilities of The Taylor Institute for Direct Marketing as a venue for several seminars we held for Small Business Owners. The setting was professional, but also allowed for interaction among the participants, and a wide variety of experiences from hands on use of computers, to small group breakouts, and larger group presentation, with full media capabilities.”
