I am thrilled to invite you back to the second meeting of our Women’s Financial Empowerment Group! The feedback from our first gathering was overwhelmingly positive, with many of the attendees expressing a desire to continue this valuable discussion. The energy in the room was fantastic, and the interaction among participants was inspiring. I am excited to build on that momentum and delve deeper into our financial goals together.
 
This month we will be exploring the different asset classes within the investing world and their role in investment strategies. We will also be sharing a few ‘money stories’ that will encourage us, remind us that we are not “the only ones” and will probably make us laugh!
 
We are meeting on Wednesday, November 20, starting at 5:45 p.m. and wrapping up by 7:15 p.m. in Studio North Collective at 716 Boon Street (next to Factory Man Roasting House and across from the Kitchen). There is no cost, nor obligation.
 
Please feel free to bring a friend! This group is for women of all ages and stages – single, divorced, widowed, married, and anywhere in between. I formed this group to be a community where we will:
 
• Gain knowledge: Learn practical financial strategies and tools.
• Build confidence: Work to overcome financial fears and challenges.
• Set goals: Create a clear roadmap to work toward your financial aspirations.
• Find support: Connect with like-minded women for encouragement and accountability.
• Empower yourself: Discover your financial potential and strive for independence.
 
Together, we'll create a supportive environment to help us navigate life's financial challenges and work toward our full potential. There will be time to connect with other dynamic women in our area.
 
My ask is that you consider sharing this invitation with clients, friends, and colleagues that you believe would benefit from knowing about and/or joining this community. 

Please let me know if you are interested in joining us or would like more information by calling me at 231.995.7015 or sending me an email: barbara.shellman@stifel.com
