 Kathy Tully '76, Marketing,
'80, Master's in Business Administration
Senior Vice President, Morgan Stanley
How many people invite
their financial advisor to their
birthday, wedding and anniversary
celebrations? How many financial
advisors personally call clients on
their birthdays just to wish them many
happy returns of the day?

and megabuck investments, personal
relationships are not the norm. Most

have Cal Poly Pomona alumna Kathy
Tully as your wealth advisor, you will
not only have a solidly constructed
financial portfolio, but you will also
have a charismatic friend. Read more... |
