Testimonials from Business Savvy Attendees
"Cheryl, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Business Savvy Women's Forum held at the Palm Beach North Chamber. I really enjoyed getting to know you and receiving feedback on ways to enhance my business. I can't tell you how much I really found value in the suggestions you made and the perspective you shared, not only with my challenges, but with the challenges the other ladies are experiencing as well.
I will most certainly make every effort to attend future events that you are hosting. I look forward to having the opportunity to interact with you going forward. In just the short time we spent together, I was inspired by your ability to motivate others and challenge them to draw out the greatness within. You are very gifted at what you do!"

The Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce Small Business Advisory Council presents CEO Connection featuring AJ Brockman, CEO of The Brewhouse Gallery & The Kelsey Theater.
Aj Brockman is an award winning digital artist who has been wheelchair-bound since the age of two due to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. In 2012 he had the honor of painting a family portrait of former President Barack Obama. AJ has always viewed himself as being "differently abled" rather than "disabled" and lives life to the fullest every day.
Currently serving as the co-owner of The Brewhouse Gallery & The Kelsey Theater, he has revitalized an entire community through art with the birth of The Lake Park Arts District. His crowning achievement is the over 900-foot continuous mural (taking up an entire city block) which is one of the largest mural projects in South Florida.
Brockman is no stranger to the nonprofit world and spent most of his childhood, raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and countless other organizations. Kelsey Cares was the natural progression, to create a legitimate 501(c)(3) to further his vision. He has already raised over $75,000 without any subsidies or government incentives (with average donation levels of less than $100), which just shows the number of people that have been impacted. See those projects continue to come to life and continue to support our efforts by donating.
