STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Debra Feaser, a financial advisor/managing director with Ameriprise Financial Services in Bloomfield, has qualified for the company’s “Circle of Success” annual recognition program. For her achievements and her myriad accomplishments throughout the years she will be honored at the National Ameriprise Conference at The Grand Hyatt Manchester and Omni in San Diego, Calif.
With 27 years experience in the financial services industry, Feaser has established herself as one of the company’s top advisors — with only a select number of high-performing advisors qualifying for the award. The recognition is based on high levels of production, high client satisfaction levels and in support of providing superior client service.
As a financial advisor and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC), Feaser provides financial advice that’s anchored in a solid understanding of client needs and expectations and is delivered in one-on-one relationships with her clients.
Feaser, a managing director with The Feaser and Eisenbraun group, a wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial, is a native Staten Islander.
Debra and her husband Michael are the parents of two daughters, Suzanne Cocoza and Jillian Eisenbraun, and the grandparents of four, John Ross Cocozza, Kara Cocozza, Michael Eisenbraun and Joseph Eisenbraun.
CALLING ALL THESPIANS, SINGERS, COMICS, POETS AND DANCERS – NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
The Little Victory Theatre — Staten Island’s newest theater — and The Sisterhood of Women’s Organizations — this year lead by the Staten Island Chapter of New York State Women — invite Staten Islanders to showcase their talent, while combating COVID blues at the same time.
Auditions will be conducted for local talent to express themselves through all genres: acting, writing, poetry, music, dance or anything else.
All genders and ethnic, community and service groups — 18 years-old and older — are encouraged to sign up anad create a five to no more than 10 minute performance either by themselves or with friends.
The theme: “Combating the COVID Blues.”
Organizers ask that those interested in performing on a stage in a theatre and in releasing the anxiety that most all have felt during these past two years do so in a safe, no judgment zone — while having fun and perhaps even uncovering an unknown talent.
Selected talent will take their performance (after two live rehearsals) to the Little Victory Theatre stage in Travis come January.
Send submissions for consideration — electronic, written script or outline — to littlevictory16@gmail.com for a committee to review by Friday, Nov. 20.
The Little Victory Theatre is dedicated to bringing the community together to showcase original and published plays, musicals, and other creative works.
The Sisterhood of Women’s Organizations is comprised of representatives from local organizations who volunteer their time and expertise to improve the status of women and their families.
The Little Victory Theatre is located at 4089 Victory Blvd. in Travis
