present

An Industry Leadership Series event event:  
"The Credit Crunch: How to Respond in 2008"

We've all heard stories about the credit crunch and are fearful of a slowing economy, but what does it really mean and how should we react in our respective financial markets? Please join us in Lafayette on Wednesday, February 27 to hear a panel of ACG and FWA members, representing well-respected Northern California service providers, provide their insight and views on the current economy.

You'll hear their perspective on how a slowing economy might affect you and your clients, and get answers to key questions, including:

• What should your clients be worried about?
• What recommendations should we give to clients if they want to sell their business or if they need to raise capital?
• What will it mean with rising inflation?

Please join us for this very exciting and timely panel discussion!
