September 1st | 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Women in Philanthropy is proud to offer this complimentary educational seminar, designed to help women learn, ask questions, and gain confidence in planning for the future.
Whether you’re just getting started or reviewing an existing estate plan, you’ll gain a better understanding of the essential building blocks of estate planning in a supportive, comfortable environment.
Join estate planning attorney Jane Carlonas, Esq., and financial advisor Ellen Burkey as they discuss topics including wills, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, organizing important financial and legal information, and starting meaningful conversations with loved ones. They’ll also explore how charitable giving can become part of your legacy if it aligns with your personal values.
You’ll leave with practical resources, greater confidence, and a clearer understanding of the next steps you can take wherever you are in your estate planning journey.
No matter your age or stage of life, planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and the people you care about.
Sponsored by Women in Philanthropy, this complimentary seminar is open to all women. We hope you’ll join us and invite a friend, sister, daughter, neighbor, or colleague who may benefit from the conversation.
Reserve your spot today! Space is limited, and advance registration is requested.
