Mid-Atlantic: Is your Networking Not Working? By PAUL MORRIS

Southern Plains: Aimee Iarussi - Queen of Networking. By PETER BIADASZ
I am honored to introduce to you Aimee Iarussi, organizer of the DFW Business Network Meetup Group, and called by many “The Queen of Networking.” Under Aimee’s leadership, the group has grown to over 2,400 people since January of 2005. Aimee’s philosophies are many, yet simple: To quote her, “I have three mottos that I adhere to and try to follow through all of my life. 1.) Take responsibility for my own actions, 2.)Give credit where credit is due and, 3.)Share my pot of gold.

Entrepreneurial: Killing the Killer Storms. By *LOUISE FLODIN

To those who know David, we hear him say this repeatedly.

Knowledge @ Wharton - A Great Free Resource

Bridging the Trust Divide: The Financial Advisor-Client Relationship

When it comes to selecting a financial advisor, trust is key. Although that
might sound elementary, the results of a recent survey conducted by
Knowledge@Wharton and State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) show that
many advisors are failing to cultivate trust through careful communication
of the value of their services, sensitivity to client needs, and competence
in discussing rates and other potentially awkward topics. In fact, according
to the survey, there is a serious gap between how well clients think their
advisors are doing and the advisors' much higher opinion of their own
performance.

In this special report, Knowledge@Wharton and SSgA look at the qualities
that underlie strong advisor-client relationships. Industry experts and
Wharton faculty weigh in on how trust is eroded, how expertise, ethics
and empathy factor in, and what can be done to tackle sticky issues like
transparency in fees. The report also includes a discussion of the
SSgA-Knowledge@Wharton survey results and a follow-up focus group
on investors' attitudes about advisors.
