“Society of FSP Insights” to Appear Monthly

Richard M. Weber, MBA, CLU, AEP, and immediate past president of the Society of Financial Service Professionals, will write a monthly column for InsuranceNewsNet Magazine on insurance and financial planning issues. The column is entitled “Society of FSP Insights.” Mr. Weber’s first article, "Debate Over Suitability Rages On,"  appeared in our March 2014 issue and dealt with the ongoing debate about often conflicting standards of care in the financial services industry. In "The Right Team Approach Can Make 2+2=6"   in April’s issue, Mr. Weber discussed why teamwork among experts in various disciplines is a necessity in today’s complex world of financial planning. Future columns will appear each month.
