Partner Howard J. Kass, CPA, CGMA, AEP®, was recently installed as president of the Cleveland-Akron Chapter of the Society of Finance Service Professionals.
"It is an honor and privilege to serve the Society and continue its longstanding mission of setting and promoting standards of excellence for professionals in financial services.
The Society is one of just a few organizations that brings professionals together from such a wide variety of professional pursuits to learn and grow from one another. This diverse group of members seeks to collaboratively serve our clients by drawing upon each other’s strengths to provide financial advice in the most ethical and professional manner," said Kass.
The Society of Financial Service Professionals, a national organization with 11,000 members across 150 chapters worldwide, was founded in 1928 and strives to improve the level of ethical behavior among its members.
The Society is the only professional organization in the industry that requires its members to be credentialed or to be actively pursuing one of 22 widely-recognized financial service designations or degrees.
