I have had the pleasure of working with/for Ben for over 6 years. Ben has turned CCPA into the exceptional Association it is today. Dedicated does not even begin to describe Ben. He is one of the hardest working people in Philadelphia. The way he is able to balance running the entire organization and his family/children, it is inspiring to say the least. It makes me tired to think about all the things he does and is able to accomplish. He is an outstanding boss and Executive Director who is passionate about making Philadelphia a better place to do business, as well as network and build a community. If you need to make a connection, Ben is the person to ask. Congratulations on over 20 years with CCPA!

Just as the founders of the Center City Proprietors Association envisioned for their organization, Ben Frank, executive director at CCPA, is open to adding people to the small business chamber's sphere of influence in a meaningful way. He is open to new people -- we had never met before the CCPA founders project; and, he is highly receptive to new ideas -- the software platform used to create the multimedia presentation is relatively new, a 2007 start-up. Ben managed to make working with him easy as he balanced the interests of CCPA's officers and board members to a successful project conclusion. It's an independent contractor's dream, right?
