Women & Money, a 4-Part Series: How Powerful Women Lawyers Make Strong Financial Decisions The "Women & Money Series" will consist of four morning "wake-up call" programs designed to equip powerful women lawyers with the necessary tools to make strong financial decisions. A recent study showed that 92% of women are eager to learn about financial planning, 8 out of 10 women confess they have refrained from having financial conversations, only 47% of women are confident talking money and investments with a professional, and 60% of women worry about having enough money to last through retirement. Knowledge of a personal emotional money personality for women is the way to start. Session One of the "Women & Money" Breakfast Series offers you a chance to get in the right financial mindset by first identifying your own money personality. The topic of money is so emotionally loaded that few couples discuss it frankly, and this is a cause of what drives many business and personal partnerships apart. Our panelists will speak about how one's money mindset may add to the challenges women lawyers face, such as living longer and being paid less. Moderator: Jacquette M. Timmons Speakers: Dr. Marlin S. Potash, Ed.D.; Christina Getz, R.N. Co-sponsored by: Committee on Minorities in the Profession For more information, please click here: http://bit.ly/1VISXHg
