The Financial Planners are employed by DMBA. They are not paid on a commission basis and are not selling products to participants. Planners will not make specific investment or tax recommendations. However, they will offer objective advice on all aspects of financial planning. The Financial Planners have a combined 40 years of experience. The service they provide to DMBA participants for free would cost hundreds of dollars if purchased from private financial planners.
