News Briefs

Our Pro-Bono Committee is working some additional programs for 2008. Staci met with Kaveida Allen from Clark County Community Resources Management and looked at their Summer Business Institute as a potential program to partner with. The program is very exciting and can be a major project for our Chapter.

Merger in the offing. We are currently exploring the possibility of merging with the FPA of Northern Nevada to form a unified FPA of Nevada. We should have more details worked out next week. When completed, this will increase our bargaining power and give us more clout in Carson City and with the media. Stay tuned for more information.

Public Relations. We are exploring some advertising and marketing strategies to promote chapter members as financial professionals of choice in Nevada. If you have some ideas or would like to work with us please let us know by contacting Tim or Dennis.

Sponsors. We still need more sponsors. If you know of a product or service provider that should be sponsoring our chapter, or if your company wants to become a corporate sponsor, let us know right away. Sponsors help us provide high quality programs while keeping the costs to members down. It’s also a terrific opportunity for sponsors to network and get new clients for their products and services.
