Meet Your Team

"As a former California Closets franchisee who turned Independent with NO regrets., I value the resources, the problem-solving and networking support we experience at the Summit and CIA."

"The CIA and Summit is invaluable for anyone regardless if you are new, or have been doing it for years. At my first Summit I had no idea what to expect but 5 minutes into "happy hour" Lisa came up and welcomed us as if we were old friends.  You will never find a place like the CIA that will share information that will help you with your business and keep you from making mistakes."

”Opening up your closet should be like arriving at a really good party where everyone you see is someone you like. Welcome to our closet industry family.”

"One of the things I love most about CIA is the interaction we have together.  We are from all over the country, and every community you could think of, but when we are together it's like we are family.  We support each other, cheer on each other, and are invested in each other's mutual success.  It's what America ought to look like, and we have it.”

"If you think you cannot afford the time and expense to attend the Closet Summit Conference, you need to attend so you find out how to afford the time and expense of the Summit."

"Our CIA closet family builds strength! Don't be left behind." 

"We have been part of the Closet Summit and CIA since it’s inception, and look forward to our get togethers. It’s like a family reunion that you want to attend! " 

"The Summit and the CIA are a must for independent closet companies. It's the BEST place to network, learn from other companies and make lifelong friends!"

"The CIA is the best thing to ever happen for independent closet companies.   Every year, we get the privilege of attending our exclusive non franchise networking event that guarantees to be the best $$ I spend all year.  The CIA Facebook page has already changed the way I do business every day because of the fantastic discussions." 

"As a small closet business owner (in charge of everything and answering to no one), I treat the Summit/CIA like an annual Board of Directors meeting. I get new ideas, find out things I might be doing wrong, gain valuable insight to the market as a whole, and meet great fellow members of the industry." 

"The Closet Summit and the CIA are MANDATORY if you are an independent and serious about succeeding in this business! There is truly no greater RESOURCE for independent closet businesses!"" 

“There’s always something to learn at the summit, as you actively engage with others who are experiencing your same challenges, growing pains and successes. The Facebook account and online member portal are like continuing education for your business available all throughout the year. If you’re an independent closet owner/operator joining this group is a must.”

“The people of this industry are amazing, gracious, hardworking people that don't take themselves too seriously. The Closet Summit was a wonderful opportunity for me to meet a lot of independent closet company owners and understand how their industry works from the inside."
