Rose Greene, CFP® , Branch Manager and Owner of Rose Greene Financial Services located in Santa Monica, CA recently attended the first-ever "Top Women Advisors Summit" hosted by Barron's magazine and R.J. Shook.

    /24-7PressRelease/ - NEW YORK - November 29, 2006 - "It was a real honor to be a part of this inaugural event, and meet others who share the same integrity and passion for our profession," Rose said. "Discussing best practices one-on-one with the top women financial advisors in the country was a unique experience, and I'm excited to bring these insights back to my firm and my clients."

Also in attendance were more than 300 women financial advisers who were designated as the top annual producers of their firms. Firms sending attendees include LPL Financial Services, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Royal Alliance Associates, Inc., R.W. Baird, Smith Barney, UBS, and Wachovia Securities, among others.

R.J. Shook noted that, "Scores of Winner's Circle advisors have told me that once they've reached the top of their firms, there are fewer people - oftentimes no one - to share ideas with. For this reason, we're bringing the 'best of the best' together to share ideas and discuss how to keep raising the bar for their practice, and for the industry."

The Summit was sponsored by AIM Investments, AON, Calamos Investments, The Hartford, IXIS Asset Management Advisors Group, MFS Investment Management, Nuveen Investments, Putnam Investments, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Vanguard and Van Kampen Investments.
