Whether you are a lawyer, doctor, professor or professional in a particular industry, joining an expert network or working through an expert network aggregator allows you to be part of a movement of sharing your expertise with others that like you have spent decades learning and practicing in their respective fields. At the end of the day, experts are professionals that want to make a difference, want to teach and in turn learn about new trends and sectors, contributing and helping others grow and reach their goals, all within the boundaries of confidentiality and Material Non-Public Information (MNPI).
