Success Stories
CCR Registration Process
"Katie, at Oregon APEX Accerlerator is my hero! Very patiently and professionally, she helped me wend my way through the process of on-line registration with CCR. At the end of every "help" phone call, she graciously told me to call again if I needed further assistance. I'm grateful for Katie and GCAP. Thanks for making the process successful."
Great Service!
"I just had to write and let you know that Katie Stumph was absolutely wonderful to work with. We worked on the SAM application....she is patient, kind, so pleasant, it was refreshing! Thank you for the assistance!"
