Steve Vernon was our featured speaker for our 2nd Annual Meeting, which was successful on many levels.  Attendance was up, the facility was conveniently located, the audience engaged, and the subject matter varied and informative.
Steve was quoted in Consumer’s Reports, and he has a regular column, “Money for Life” on CBS Moneywatch. Our New England autumn colors brightened the event for our attendees from as far away as Georgia, Mississippi, and California.
