AMD & AMF Annual Golf Outing
You're Invited! We cordially invite you and any of your guests to join AMD & AMF members, individually or as a foursome, at our Annual Golf Outing to be held at Hollow Brook Golf Club in Cortlandt Manor, NY.
The outstanding growth of the AMD & AMF over the past several years has been largely attributed to the camaraderie that has developed not only between AMD & AMF members, but also among asset managers and broker-dealers, custodians, vendors and other members of the Wall Street Community. This event is a continuation of that camaraderie, and a chance for you to network with colleagues at one of New York's most prestigious golf clubs.
See you on the green!
