08/08/10

  Stephen R. Cooper, CPA from Mount Laurel, New Jersey attended EXPLORE 2010, Genworth Financial Investment Services’ Twelfth Annual Training and Education Conference in San Diego, California, recently. The three-day conference attracted more than 850 Financial Advisers, speakers, exhibitors, and guests. Stephen R. Cooper, CPA selected from more than 35 general and concurrent sessions that advanced the conference’s theme “Committed to Your Growth.”
  EXPLORE 2010 had a powerful lineup of keynote speakers. Speakers included Don Connelley, perhaps the nation’s most successful adviser to the retail brokerage industry; Dr. J.P. Pawliw-Fry, a thought leader on the subject of leadership, performance and managing change who now acts as an adviser to numerous Fortune 100 companies; and Kathryn Capage, Strategic Plan Director of Tax-Advantaged Products at Invesco, who spoke about recent tax law changes, Social Security and retirement.
  This year, for the first time, EXPLORE featured super sessions scheduled for almost double the length of traditional conference sessions; these sessions allow participants enough time to fully explore a topic in-depth. This year’s super sessions were on important topics such as technology solutions for Financial Advisers; best practices, offered by Quantivus Consultants, Inc.; using social media in your practice, and succession planning.
  Enrique M. Vasquez, President, Genworth Financial Investment Services, noted that “Hosting EXPLORE is one of the many ways we demonstrate our commitment to our Financial Advisers’ growth. Our Financial Advisers in turn demonstrate that same commitment to their clients, recognizing that the client relationship is at the center of their practice and is key to everything they do. The client relationship is also the key to everything we do.”

  • SNJBP Datebook: January 2012

      January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
