1 FCBR's Independent Broker Value Enhancement Project In an effort to enhance the value that FCBR already presents to our Independent Brokers we have formed a task force composed of Independent Broker members to identify a process by which FCBR can add value for our Independent Offices. This survey will help us to identify some key issues and ideas. Following the completion of this survey FCBR will host an Unconference to further identify specific programs and services to better serve our members.
