Linda C. Mack, founder and president of Mack International, the premier retained executive search and family office strategic management/human capital consulting firm, has been selected to co-chair the Opal Financial Group 2014 Family Office & Private Wealth Management Forum: The Race for Returns, to be held July 21- 23 at the Hyatt Regency Newport in Newport, Rhode Island.
The conference is one of Opals premier Private Wealth Series events for high-net-worth individuals and family offices from around the world. Linda C. Mack will co-chair the Forum and present opening remarks with Jason Cavanagh, CEO of the Saint Leonard Family Office (SFO), and Michael Pompian, Partner and Director of Private Wealth Practice, Mercer, LLC.
Some of the most well-established family offices, private investors, money managers and private wealth service providers attend for three days of engaging discussions and peer-to-peer exchanges on not only a spectrum of current investments trends but also a variety of softer issues effecting current and future generations of families, Linda Mack explained.
In addition to co-chairing the conference, Mack will moderate a panel on Wednesday, July 23 titled Operations and technology: Leading edge family office infrastructure and family office reporting. Panelists will include Mark Wickersham, Director, Netage Solutions, Inc., James Koutoulas, CEO, Typhon Access, Carl Sheeler, Director, Berkeley Research Group, LLC and Melissa Mattison, Vice President, Strategic Solutions.
According to Mack, the session will explore key evolving operational reporting and technology trends and the impact of these trends on family offices. We will discuss how ownership structures, asset allocation and client requirements affect reporting needs of single and multi-family-offices, and what considerations these organizations should take into account before embarking on significant technology investment, upgrades or changes, Mack said.
The session will also cover key challenges that single and multi-family-offices face in successfully changing or upgrading reporting technology. Panelists will offer insights into how to best determine the familys core technology and reporting needs; whether resources and expertise exist in-house and when to outsource; security, confidentiality and reliability issues; and how to maintain successful operations during changes, Mack continued.
As with numerous decisions in any family office operation, it is essential that there is agreement and alignment of operational technology decisions with family goals and values, Mack said.
The Forum will also have presentations explore the challenges and opportunities associated with investing in emerging markets, alternative investments, real estate, gold, and numerous other asset classes, and will also include sessions addressing other issues of import to family offices such as office structure, taxation and regulation, risk management, high-impact philanthropy and technology trends.
Opal Financial Group will kick off the event with its Annual Americas Regatta Cup, in which attendees will have the opportunity to work with a professional sailing charter crew while competing against industry peers.

Selling Timeshares, Inc., a licensed real estate brokerage that specializes in Hilton and Marriott resale, has recently updated their website as well as timeshare blog. The site’s timeshare blog has been updated with useful information about the timeshare industry, insider travel tips, and much more.
The blog will continue to feature reviews for the many timeshare resorts for sale on their website, helpful tips on selling, buying and owning timeshares, travel info and articles and the latest scoop on some of the biggest resorts all over the world.
Seth Nock, the owner and president of Selling Timeshares, Inc., was quoted saying, “The blog will allow travelers to become better aware of the most high-end timeshare ownerships and how to book their best possible vacations.”
The blog is a compliment to Selling Timeshares, Inc.s new website which offers a brand new resort directory, as well as a new, more intuitive look and feel for the listings section of the site. The entire website has recently been overhauled to provide a better experience for clients that are looking for Hilton, Marriott, Disney, WorldMark by Wyndham, Fairfield by Wyndham, Royal Resorts or many other types of resale timeshare properties on the secondary market.
The company’s timeshare blog can be viewed at the following link: http://www.sellingtimeshares.net/category/articles/.
With the flexibility offered by today’s point-based timeshares, consumers have more choices than ever, but this can lead to confusion on what locations are the best, and what amenities are offered.
The goal is to add to their clients’ experience of selling or buying a resale timeshare. To continue educating the client regarding the different properties that are offered on the resale market, what makes the properties unique and what a buyer can expect once youre there, without having to pick up the phone.
David Van Norman, licensed agent and head of web development for Selling Timeshares, Inc. said, “…the customer should be able to get the information needed at a quick glance. With the steps being taken now, our clients will be empowered with the knowledge to take the vacations they never thought were possible.”
The company will also be adding articles on travel tips, new attractions and points of interest in and around the areas where travelers go to most.
Selling Timeshares, Inc. has officially invited the industry to continue checking the blog for any specials, or last minute deals that pop up. Plus as an added bonus, they have announced that they will be doing contests and giveaways for vacation packages in resorts across the globe.

World Wide Security Group, is providing all customers with one mobile security app. The new app, Life Button 24 was developed in-house by security tech team members to bring assistance to anyone who feels threatened, at a press of a button, on their phones. Life Button 24 provides personal protection to all our customers when they are on the go, away at college, in their homes or places of business. Anywhere across the U.S., 24 hours a day, stated Ken Mara, President and CEO of World Wide Security Group, adding, We felt this service was too valuable to charge our customers, so we decided to give it to them for free.
World Wide Security has been providing security to homes and businesses since 1979, and now with Life Button 24, protection is extended to its most valuable asset, the customer and their families. The app features two-way voice, GPS locating when app is engaged, 24-hour monitoring, silent mode for dispatchers to listen in, video clips and photos sent to dispatchers as events unfold. With the press of a button our customers can summon emergency assistance when and where they need it, added Mara.
The app can be used by anyone, but is limited to one free app per family or business. Additional apps are available at discounted rates to their clients below the rates being offered to the public. Registration to customize a response for each user takes minutes and protection begins immediately. Many of our customers have children going off to college in the fall. This is a great product for students, real estate agents, lone workers, business owners and shop owners who need to summon emergency assistance. This can be done on the one device everyone has on them at all times, their mobile phones. This is a much different service than calling 911. Many people are hesitant to call for help until it is too late. Life Button 24 can provide you assistance and connect you with or central station or 911 when a situation demands it, explained Ken Mara.
Life Button 24 will be offered free to all customers of World Wide Security/GC Alarm and member companies of World Wide Security.
About World Wide Security/GC Alarm: Partners in business since 1979, Kenneth Mara, President & CEO, along with Joe Ingegno, Vice President, have owned and operated security companies on Long Island, which serve the tri-state area.
