McKee will answer questions following his talk. The meeting also includes a buffet luncheon and is priced at $20 for FPRA members and $25 for guests.

"With everyone concerned about surviving these tough economic times, we thought it would be appropriate to present a financial expert who could provide us with some honest, unbiased advice. As a result, we recruited Arthur McKee to share his expertise as our April guest speaker," said Kris Keprios of Polk County Tourism and Sports Marketing, president of the Dick Pope/Polk County FPRA chapter.

In addition to serving clients through MIP, he also teaches graduate level finance as an adjunct professor at Webster University.
