There have been several name changes since 1924. SMG Corporate Services, LLC is now one of the largest service organizations in the Northeast. Louise's father, Al Weintraub, was one of the founding member companies of BSCAI. Louise has been instrumental to our continued growth for over 50 years!

As IT came into being, she helped that department, working with them to the point where all the company's software became customized. Louise also became more involved with customer relations, which she's excelled at.
Best advice received: Louise learned a tremendous amount from her father, who took a small window cleaning company to the next level. He taught her to treat customers and employees the same because without one, you can not have the other.
