GAME OF DRONES
The drone revolution has finally entered the American psyche. In fact, in late-December, the Federal Aviation Administration revealed that they have chosen several sites in a number of states to test unmanned drones in order to integrate them into our national airspace. The climate has certainly changed and unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones - will be written by professional journalists, who offer a fresh perspective and an objective eye that will give you a well-rounded look at big topics. Our reporters L.A. Rivera, Amy Armstrong and Monica Link have chronicled a story dubbed, “Year Of The Drones,” which looks into the future of drones in America.

FINANCIAL PLANNING WITH HONESTY<br />
For Carina S. Diamond and SS&G Wealth Management,<br />
the goal has always been offering clients a holistic approach.<br />
With 11 years at the company, Diamond knows<br />
how to make things work.<br />
As Managing Director of SS&G Wealth Management,<br />
Diamond has seen business grow since she arrived.<br />
The reason is the honest service the company offers.<br />
“We look for people who want a more comprehensive approach,”<br />
said Diamond. “What that means is servicing clients<br />
proactively and reaching out<br />
to clients when we see a planning<br />
opportunity.”<br />
Diamond likes to see the company<br />
focus on risk management<br />
and client goals. Investments are<br />
important, but equally important<br />
is setting guidelines and limits<br />
for each client. She acknowledges<br />
that they don’t want clients to<br />
make investments without having<br />
backup money and plans. Financial<br />
planning and staying focused on long-term objectives<br />
are important to Diamond. This something that SS&G does<br />
for its clients.<br />
“I would be remiss if I didn’t find out about the client’s estate<br />
plan and insurance and needs for the family and health<br />
situations,” said Diamond. “If I didn’t ask these questions<br />
and just looked at investments, I could be missing some<br />
very important information.”<br />
The straightforward, all-in approach by Diamond and<br />
SS&G Wealth Management also means keeping the client<br />
well informed, with a clear understanding about<br />
what is happening. “My philosophy has always<br />
been that if something’s really complicated and I<br />
can’t understand it, I’m not going to try and sell it<br />
to one of my clients,” said Diamond.<br />
Another focus for Diamond has been the creation<br />
five years ago of “Flourish: Women and Wealth<br />
Management”, an initiative focusing on the financial<br />
needs of women. She created Flourish to help<br />
successful and intelligent women who are unsure<br />
about how to handle their finances.<br />
“What Flourish does is…provide seminars and<br />
events where women can gather in a comfortable<br />
environment and learn more about managing their<br />
finances,” Diamond said. These events are held in<br />
a social manner that is relaxed and inviting, with<br />
the goal of giving the women attending more financial<br />
confidence and literacy. Over the span of<br />
about five years, an estimated 700 women have<br />
been attended Flourish events.<br />
Diamond noted that SS&G’s greatest success has<br />
been building a strong team and a business that<br />
has continuity. Every employee is salaried, which<br />
places everyone on the same team. Multiple employees<br />
are versed on the same client so, should any unforeseen<br />
circumstances arise, there is more than one person<br />
who can step in immediately to help.<br />
By working together as a team for long term financial and<br />
health benefits for each<br />
“What Flourish does is…provide<br />
seminars and events where women<br />
can gather in a comfortable<br />
environment and learn more about<br />
managing their finances,”<br />
- said Diamond<br />

client, both Diamond<br />
and SS&G have clearly<br />
stepped ahead of the<br />
rest of the pack.<br />
