    What is it?

    In order to provide content that is beneficial to our members, we are starting a video series called "Ask an Expert". Each episode will feature a different subject matter expert from all different areas of the business world. We want our members to get involved and gain information relevant to them. For this reason, we decided to go with an "Ask me Anything" format where you can read a quick bio to learn about our expert and ask relevant questions.

    How do you get involved?

    You can submit your questions to our expert in this thread after we post the expert's profile and information. We will take questions up to a week after the expert's profile is posted. Please be aware that not all questions will be able to make it into the episode due to time restrictions and guest preferences.
