Professor Hall will not need the amount of inservice and trips necessary for educators not already trained in investments, market trends and finance so critical for board members TODAY as they make monumental decisions regarding recouping our money. Expertise already in place eliminates learning and catch up time affecting many past and some current board members and allows immediate involvement on your behalf.
