Board of Directors


 

President 
Richard Peck, CAP®, CFP®, ChFC®
Richard C. Peck Consulting, LLC 
Concord, NH

 

"I am passionate about educating professional advisors (especially trusts and estates attorneys, wealth advisors, family office professionals, and CPAs) about the benefits of the philanthropic conversation and the importance of engaging clients in this way. There is no shortage of themes, skills, and topics to introduce to advisors! I bring over 18 years of experience as a development officer and consultant working with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, especially in the area of complex/non-cash assets. Prior to that, I was a financial advisor with American Express Financial Advisors for seven years. I have three designations (CFP®ChFC®, and CAP®), and I believe I have a unique perspective as both a former for-profit wealth advisor and a current non-profit advisor."

"AiP sits at the intersection of the business and social sectors, a community of financial professionals, attorneys, and advisors who aim to support clients in realizing their charitable goals. I believe this is where the magic happens. Clients bring with them deeply seated values and priorities which cannot be separated from their financial goals. Advisors who support the "whole" client build stronger, better, and more satisfying relationships with their clients and can have a major impact on the social sector. This is the intersection that I love and where I choose to spend my time. This is the future of financial planning and philanthropic advising and best of all, this is how we can change the world."
