David Payne, a long-standing member of the Leawood Chamber of Commerce and current Chamber Board Member, made KC Magazine's list of 2007 “Five Star Wealth Managers” as reported in the magazine’s April issue. The list is an elite group representing less than three percent of wealth managers in the Kansas City area, according to the magazine.
The selection process began with a survey that was mailed to 31,000 high net worth households in the Kansas City area. An additional 5,750 surveys went to leaders of financial service companies. Survey respondents were asked to evaluate only wealth managers whom they knew through personal experience on the basis of customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, communication, meeting of financial objectives, post-sale service, quality of recommendations and overall satisfaction, among other criteria. The final list was reviewed by a blue ribbon panel of knowledgeable individuals from within the financial services industry.
Payne is a registered representative of NYLIFE Securities LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. New York Life is one of the largest and most respected fi ... (go to www.leawoodchamber.org for more information)
Kansas City, MO – May 2007 – Design Consultant, Stacie Cordell joins the team at Schloegel Design Remodel.
With a degree in Communications from the University of Maryland and seven years of experience in the remodeling industry, Stacie will participate in kitchen and bathroom design, material selections and project coordination.
Stacie recently relocated to Kansas City from the Washington, D.C. area. There she worked as Designer/Estimator with a local remodeling firm where she was responsible for developing design concepts and project budgets.

Projects are designed with specific construction details, capabilities, and budget realities in mind.
“Stacie is a valuable addition to the design component of our services,” said Jake Schloegel.
Schloegel Design Remodel is one of Kansas City's oldest and most trusted remodeling companies. As a design remodel firm, Schloe ... (go to www.leawoodchamber.org for more information)
