What Members Say About CAPS
Recommendation by Bob Parker:
Everyone should be a member of their professional association. It shows that you are serious about the business you have chosen to in for your career. Since becoming a member in 1999, my business has grown by leaps and bounds. The ideas I’ve received from chapter meetings and conventions have by far returned on their investment. I’ve met some of the warmest and most inviting people around that only really care about helping others.

What we do
Federation members say...
Ron Black: Most professional organizations profess service, but few deliver it with the generosity and talent as do the members who make up the GSF community. 
Dene Rossouw: The sharing of expertise and ideas is a powerful membership privilege 
Paul Eric Ter Wal: The Federation made me part of a big family of enthusiastic people/speakers, who became friends. As Paul Harris Fellow, i must say, that this GSF-family is more a true international family then I ever expected possible!! 
Ahmad Reza Nasiri: As per my carrier and as a trainer and speaker, I have more than 7 several workshops and speach in courses and conferences which has led me to be in contact with outside profesionals to improve my skills and learning more over in order to I be able to teach others .
Greg Williams: The Federation allowed me to connect with more like-minded speakers, whih in turn allowed me to endow more audiences with my knowledge of negotiations & reading body language.
Recommendation by Cheryl Cran:
CAPS is a great resource for experts who speak professionally in Canada. I have been a member since 1997 and the association continues to attract experts and provide value to its members. I would recommend CAPS as a networking resource, a support resource and a learning resource.
