I am very honored and pleased to be serving as President of the Retail Brokers Network. As a member for over 10 years, serving as Regional Chair for 2 years and a member of the Executive Board now for 6 years, I have been able to meet and interact with so many great people. The ethical standards, professionalism, knowledge base and specialties of the group are truly incredible. But the true value comes in the form of collaboration, kindness and friendships I have found in RBN. I was told early on, “You can reach out to anyone in this group for help,” and that has proven to be the case.
