Implicit Bias – 2 clock hours offered, virtual 

Nov 27 @ 4:30 pm | REGISTER HERE

 

Implicit Bias explores how to recognize it within yourself as well as recognize it in others, including your students and colleagues. How it is influenced from a young age to adulthood by your friends, family, culture in which one was raised in, and media that is consumed. We will discuss ways to identify yours, and how to disrupt one’s biases. To gain the most from this training it requires self-reflection and vulnerability.

December 14th  Thursday Women and Money

 

Please, no offense meant for the men in our association.  In fact, what we will learn tonight is valuable information for all of us to understand.  Women face unique financial challenges. This presentation highlights those challenges along with possible solutions to address them.  Obviously, all women will appreciate the information we are sharing as well as others who may have a mother, sister, or daughter for whom they may  want to better understand these unique considerations.  And, let’s be real, roles are less defined to day then they were 20 years ago and in many cases some of this information shared is applicable to the men as well.

Learning how to invest vs save money will have a significant impact on your financial future.  Join us to explore the concept of long-term investing while addressing retirement income sources, gaps, and the potential impact of healthcare in retirement.  We realize that for many of you, retirement seems a long way away, but the sooner you learn about the basic concepts of financial security the better off you will be in making decisions between mow and then.  And, what you learn here is not just applicable to retirement planning but to all your savings and investing goals between now and then as well.

April  23rd Tuesday Taking Care of Aging Parents

 

This seminar explores several aspects of caring for aging parents and identifies issues that can impact their well-being as well as your own.  One of the hardest topics almost all of us will face at some time in our lives.  Like many of our financial workshops, the sooner you begin the process and the more often you talk about it and plan for it, before you need to, the better it will go.  Please note, this is a very personal and not-so-fun topic, but the workshop is very engaging and thought provoking and you will leave feeling empowered.  Please join us and plan to share experiences you may have had already or ask questions of others who have already been through this stage of life.
