At Boyer & Corporon Wealth Management, an important part of our job is to actively pursue ongoing education in the various aspects of our profession. To do our job well, it’s imperative we stay on top of the very latest news, rules, trends, and forecasts in a wide range of topics. From regulatory issues to the latest economic outlook, BCWM team members regularly seek out learning opportunities, often attending several webinars, workshops or conferences in a month.

Also important to our culture is engagement with our community – whether it be membership in local professional groups or supporting philanthropic causes. That’s why our calendars often include benefit walks, luncheons and other events that support nonprofit organizations in our community.

Here’s a look at our activities during the past three months: continue article >>

Brian recently attended, via webcast, the 2009 Regional CCOutreach Seminar. The Securities and Exchange Commission hosts these annual seminars to help compliance officers address compliance in today’s evolving environment.

Boyer & Corporon Introduces Skype Videoconferencing
Skype, an internet based application, allows users to make phone calls via the internet. With the addition of a webcam, Skype allows videoconferencing with anyone in the world who also has Skype. At this point, both of these capabilities are free.  Boyer & Corporon is now using Skype to connect with our clients and it feels like we’re in the same room with people who might be thousands of miles away (almost).  The best part for our clients is that getting started with Skype is incredibly easy. Skype software is free to download, and a simple webcam can be purchased for less than $100 at your local consumer electronics store.  Click here to see just how easy it is! We invite you to call us at the office if you want to know more about videoconferencing with BCWM.

Going Green is Easy
Quick and easy access to important documents is easy for our clients when we scan and store these documents in their Personal Client Vaults. Besides ease of access, this is yet another great way to go green by saving paper. At BCWM we have a program to securely recycle any waste paper we generate. Contact our office if you would like to learn more about activating your Personal Client Vault.
