The Financial Planning Association and Janus have named Kahler Financial Group president Richard S. Kahler a 2008 Financial Frontiers Awards winner. The awards showcase research papers that present new ideas and practical solutions for the financial planning industry. Kahler's paper, the winner in the Financial Concepts category, examined why financial planners typically do not seek assistance from other planners. Kahler will present on the topic at the association's annual conference in October.
