Calabasas, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2009 -- Brett Ellen, President of American Financial Network (AFN) announced today that he has engaged Impact Communications to help promote the Collaborative Services Platform, the firm's planning solution for business owners and executives.

AFN also works with executives in large public corporations to help them maximize their compensation benefits. For quite some time there has been a decided shift away from defined benefit plans, where company sponsors determine investment decisions, to the defined contribution plans, where participants are obliged to make their own investment decisions.
