Doug Robbins provided an insightful presentation to a dedicated community of financial and insurance advisors. Not an easy task given the high level of experience in the room. Doug's information was right on topic, cutting edge and very informative. His ability to field questions from both senior level advisors and those just entering the business made him a hit with our audience. Not only was he an excellent speaker, his professional assistance leading up to our event was timely and information was made available in a format that allowed our guests to maximize their learning through presentation materials and followup access. We look forward to have Doug join us for a special "Client Appreciation" event being developed for our members in the near future. He would be an asset to anyone's programme.
