Our New Philosophy
It’s the same as our old philosophy!

Adam Tavakoly
CompuSOURCE Engineering

You may remember what we are all about…doing business with one an other and referring the hundreds of people we all know to a Progress Club Member first.

What we are not
Not a social club…Not a service organization…Not a place for JOINERS…

What we are
An organization devoted to giving and getting business by using our wealth of contacts and referral sources. We are business owners and managers which differentiates us from many other organizations.

We expect to showcase ourselves at trade talks and open houses, but with a twist of virtual attendance through the Clubs own conference center. If you have trouble attending a morning meeting simply call the conference center and you’re there. More to follow.

Highlighted Member
The New "Progress Club of Miami, Inc." is highlighted this month

Steven H. Dohan, CPA
Dohan Salum + Company

This month begins an exciting new chapter in the life of our dear Progress Club

Contrary to popular belief-
We're here! I was the winning (some might say losing) bidder to acquire the assets and liabilities of the Progress Club after it was changed from a not-for-profit membership organization to a regular Florida corporation. Now we have to get the Club reinstated with Florida (it was dissolved for lack of filing and payment), get the accounting and income tax filings done and satisfy old, past due indebtedness.

Joining me in this seemingly dauntless task is Adam Tavakoly who has stepped up to the plate with ownership contribution as well. Similar ownership was offered to the attendees at our last meeting two weeks ago but there were no takers. So…we're back. We hope to see all of our former members and even some new ones at our next Special Event.

VENUE
For the next two months, we will hold our meetings at Steve and Adam's offices to conserve cash and build a fund with which to operate. Beginning in July, we will meet at the Elk's Club in South Miami, just off S. Dixie Hwy.
