Fiduciary Benchmarks is one of the five Associate member firms on the Council. The company will be represented by Craig Rosenthal, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Service. Mr. Rosenthal has been a regular speaker at industry conferences for the last decade, and has driven FBi’s growth in the Broker Dealer and Professional Retirement Plan Advisor segment.
