 Collaborative Divorce:  Ronda Fuchs

Dr. Ronda Fuchs, licensed psychologist, will be presenting about Collaborative Divorce at our first Chamber of Commerce Brunch and Learn..  Many of you may say, "Why would I want to go OR be seen at a presentation on Collaborative Divorce?" There are many good reasons to be acquainted with this alternative approach for dissolution of marriage, i.e. divorce.

With still about 50% of marriages ending in divorce, it is likely that you know someone who will be getting divorced; a friend, neighbor, family member, client, or colleague. This approach, as compared to traditional litigation, can help preserve families with the "best interest of the child" being the goal of this process. By just having an introduction to Collaborative Divorce, you may be able to recommend this and help someone in need.

Women & Wealth:  Ruben Weisson CFP®, CRPC®

Women control $20 Trillion in global wealth and 39% of the investable assets in the United States.  Wealth is about more than just money which is why I take a holistic approach to wealth planning.  Regardless of whether you are single, married, divorced or widowed, have a family, a career, created your own wealth or inherited assets, there are relationships, interests and goals that bring you joy.   I believe these vital elements should be at the heart of your wealth plan.  Learn actionable strategies for cash management/savings, asset allocation/diversification and portfolio rebalancing.
