More
than 450
executives from
50 financial
organizations
honored
finalists and
recipients of
the second
annual Community
Leadership
Awards recently
at the Hilton
Hotel in New
York City. The
awards, in four
categories, were
presented by the
Invest in Others
Charitable
Foundation
and
InvestmentNews
to honor
financial
advisors who
have made
outstanding
charitable
contributions.
Elizabeth
Verterano,
a
financial
advisor for
Ameriprise
Financial
Services, Inc., was the
recipient of the
Community
Leadership
Award. She was
selected as a
finalist from
nearly 500 nominees. As a
result of this
award, the
CSLC will
receive a
$10,000
donation,
earmarked by
Beth for debt
retirement of
the facility. “Our
goal has always
been to put
ourselves out of
business by
breaking the
cycle of abuse
so the community
would no longer
need our
services.” said
Beth, one of the
founders and a
current member
of the board of
directors of the
CSLC.
