[COMMUNICATED CONTENT] There has been a tremendous buzz in the insurance and financial planning industry with the official kickoff of the CSB ENVISION III conference, scheduled to be held at The DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Newark on October 30, 2013.

“This event is all about inspiring financial advisors and insurance executives from the Jewish community to achieve higher levels of business success.” says Simon Friedman, a committee member of CSB ENVISION III. “We accomplish that with an education-based conference platform featuring a lineup of world-class speakers who inform, enlighten and motivate.”

Drawing on its past two years of achievements – which hosted speakers including Scott Ginsberg of “The Nametag Guy” fame; the legendary Kenneth Wylie, Esq.; noted estate planning expert Stephan Leimberg, Esq.; and Former Senior Vice President of MetLife Joe Jordan – CSB ENVISION III is opening public registration shortly and anticipates a crowd of about 250 elite industry producers and home office representatives.

This new conference theme has been dubbed “Finish 2013 Strong, Start 2014 Smart!”and the event will be offering speeches on timely industry topics, two general sessions, twelve focus Session workshops, and valuable networking opportunities throughout the day to bring that important message home.

Corporate Sponsors at CSB ENVISION III will include major life insurance carriers such as National Life, Guardian, MassMutual and MetLife. Some of the largest General Agency’s in the Tri-State area such as Brokers Central, Brooklyn Financial Group, MassMutual Brooklyn, MassMutual Lee Nolan & Koroghlian, and Sterling Financial will participate as Agency Sponsors.

At this year’s conference, distinguished personalities slated to speak include celebrity keynote speaker and best-selling motivational author Dr. Willie Jolley; Founder of The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys Harley Gordon; legendary insurance experts Kenneth Wylie and Duncan Bull; and globally-acclaimed inspirational speaker Rabbi Jonathan Rietti.

“There is actually a unique twist here,” notes Mr. Friedman. “Unlike most industry events, CSB ENVISION III was created to support the work of Computer Sciences for the Blind (CSB), a non-profit organization enhancing the lives of blind, visually impaired and physically challenged Jewish individuals. The profits generated by this event are donated exclusively to this extraordinary organization. And the enthusiastic feedback CSB ENVISION III has received truly reflects how people in our industry care about more than just selling policies – they care about helping others overcome their unique challenges.”
