Continuing to lead ZAG member firms as we navigate the effects the pandemic has had on our clients and member firm employees is my top priority as chairman,” says Sarber who will provide leadership, vision, and direction to the organization. “The strong collaboration amongst our ZAG member firms has enabled us to pivot resources, technology, and services enabling us to continue to provide top quality care to our clients and support our employees when they have needed us most.”
Sarber replaces John Stephens, President of TCI Wealth Management, Inc. who completed his term as Board Chairman at the end of 2020.
