Corporate Sponsor Barry Dayley, MRFC® of Money Concepts International, gave an inspirational talk to the students in which he shared his journey as a financial professional through the Three Pillars of Success. Together with Corporate Sponsor Bob Laraia, RFC® from Northstar Wealth Partners, they announced the results and presented the student teams with their Competition prizes.
Included in this issue are comments from the leaders of the Association – the Board of Trustees and the US Chapter Board. They are back from their Annual In-person Meetings and are putting into place recommendations brought forth during their time together.
“This is the first time that we have sat down across from each other since the pandemic,” commented Trustee Board Chair, Dr. H. Stephen Bailey, MRFC®. “Sometimes I think we have forgotten how inspiring it can be when we convene as a group.”
The Register’s Member Focus this month is IARFC Trustee Mary Moose Garlock, RFC. Once again, we learn that people step up in leadership positions because they want to give back to a profession that has been rewarding. Garlock has unique experiences especially in the area of marketing a practice. She will be featured in an upcoming podcast recorded with the IARFC Philippines Chapter later in the month.

From the International Chapters News – a milestone to celebrate is a 20 year relationship with Greater China. Leaders express their appreciation of this longevity and look to the future of the IARFC. The Philippines bring you the lineup for their International Podcast Series which can be heard on IARFC Philippines Facebook page. It brings consultants together who share best practices from their respective countries.
