First Command Commits to Serving Small Business Owners, Self-Employed.

Senior VP to Speak on Financial Planning at American Dental Association Exhibition

LAS VEGAS -- First Command Financial Planning Inc. accelerates its pursuit of small business owners and professionals this month as a first-time exhibitor at the American Dental Association's 147th ADA Annual Scientific Session and Marketplace Exhibition Oct.16-19 in Las Vegas, Nev.

"Dentists are an ideal market for our financial products and services," said Rich Giles, First Command's senior vice president of Field Operations. "Like all small business owners, they must deal with the relentless, daily challenges of running a business. All too often the business owner is so overwhelmed by planning for the financial future of their business that they neglect to plan for their personal financial future."

Giles will speak to ADA members about optimizing business finances and preserving personal wealth during presentations scheduled for 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 15 at the ADA exhibition.

After nearly half a century of helping military families define and pursue their financial goals, First Command Financial Planning announced last year that it was expanding the market it serves to include non-military families. First Command has since identified business owners and professionals as an important market in need of the company's unique approach to personal financial planning. Throughout the ADA exhibition, First Command financial advisors will be available at the First Command booth to talk about the company's full suite of financial planning products and services, including investments, insurance and full-service banking.

First Command Financial Planning develops and delivers comprehensive financial plans to assist American families in their efforts to build wealth, reduce debt and pursue their lifetime financial goals and dreams. Through a combination of independent advice and personalized plans that emphasize consistent investment, carefully selected insurance and adequate savings, First Command financial advisors have established lasting relationships with hundreds of thousands of client families since 1958.
