"As a small company faced with federal legislative issues which threaten our survival we recently turned to the TCH Group for Assistance. We have been extremely pleased with their dedication, their energy and resourcefulness, and their access to key people on both sides of the aisle in both the Senate and the House.

Mike Tongour's ability to quickly understand our issues and to effectively develop and communicate our message has been extraordinary. His accessibility, his candor and his sense of humour have been refreshing. When I have walked the halls with Mike and attended meetings with him it is obvious that he is both well known and highly regarded."


Roger G. Ackerman, Chairman & CEO
Corning Incorporated:

"As the Chairman of the Baldridge Foundation, I was fully aware that this was going to be an uphill legislative battle. There were major problems in both the authorization and the appropriations process. Furthermore, when your firm was retained to work on this project there was very little time left in the legislative session. Nevertheless, your firm was instrumental in formulating an incredibly successful legislative strategy and implementing it with precision and diligence. I was particularly impressed that your legislative contacts were both bipartisan and bicameral.

This achievement was not only a priority for Corning Incorporated - but it was personally extremely important for me. Your firm demonstrated to me that you deliver! "
