They must demonstrate a love for helping others with their financial needs, and have demonstrated tremendous benefactions to either a person, organization or to society.IAOTP’s Million Dollar Round Table members come together not for accolades and personal gain, but to share how they provide peace of mind, save lives, and protect the futures of clients/patients.
