Charity and Volunteering

Million Dollar Round Table

Elaine joined the Million Dollar Round Table, the Premier Association of Financial Professionals, in 2003 and since then, she has been lucky enough to be in the company of the very best Financial Advisers in the world. MDRT is based in Chicago in the USA, and has a membership of some 80,000 from approximately 90 different countries. She attends the Annual Meeting each year in the USA, where she gains knowledge and learning from a huge range of presentations and information sessions, as well as ideas from other Advisers from all over the world.

She volunteers quite extensively for the organisation, assisting other Advisers in their own career paths, and she has held various posts that have broadened her own experience as a leader and a mentor, experiences that she views to be of great value in the way she lives her own life.

She has also served on the Board of Trustees for the MDRT Foundation, a grant giving organisation who give away millions of dollars every year to worthy causes across the planet.

The friendship and learning that Elaine has gained from her membership of MDRT is invaluable and she is passionate about her membership, believing it gives her the most valuable tools that she can implement across all areas of her life.

MDRT has also given Elaine the opportunity to speak internationally, which has made her reach outside of her comfort zone and learn a new skill, a skill that enables her to spread a message to help others and which she enjoys very much.

 

Rotary International

Elaine is also a keen member of the Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club, part of Rotary International. Following her move to Bristol, she wanted to know more about what was happening in the local community and find out about causes that she might be able to help at home, in addition to the work she does internationally.

She thoroughly enjoys being a part of a very proactive and friendly club and has been able to take part in various community projects, as well as becoming the club’s ‘official photographer’ for some of the events that the club hosts, which also allows her to develop her photography hobby.

She is extremely proud that the club have elected her to be their President in the year 2025/26, something that she is very much looking forward to.
