“Amazing respondents, nice facility, good food and hostesses who were on top of things for the entire visit.  You might think these are all standard things to be expected of any facility, but I have been moderating for 25 years and it is rare to find it.”

“AOC is my ‘go to’ facility. If they are not available, I’ll shift my dates rather than go elsewhere. They are extremely professional yet friendly, and their recruitment (and resulting show rate) is absolutely stellar. They have never, and I mean NEVER failed to deliver.”
