There is no denying that women are earning and controlling more wealth than ever before and have become powerful influencers of household investment and financial decisions. However, according to a recent New York Life Investments survey, over 40% of women investors lack confidence in their knowledge of the market and 29% lack confidence in their ability to make decisions between investment options.

Our presenters will share introductory concepts to help women become more empowered with their finances. They'll also share how to take these concepts and apply them to set and define your financial goals for you and your family. Join us as we discuss:

- Women in the world today
- Building a financial foundation
- Creating an independent retirement path

Shannon Graham
Investment Management Consultant
Financial Advisor, RJFS
Addison Avenue Investment Services
When it comes to investing, Shannon Graham integrates a personal approach to helping women meet their financial goals. She first works with the client to develop a strategy only after evaluating individual needs, timeframe, and tolerance for risk. Once a plan is established, Shannon continues to evaluate the client's financial strategy over time, making any necessary adjustments around cash flow management, tax-advantaged strategies, and more, to ensure that it continues to meet the client's needs.

Shannon feels that one of the most rewarding parts of her job is assisting people in their time of need. From helping families save for their child's college education, to advising women how to invest on their own, to supporting widows and widowers during stressful times, Shannon's goal is to filter out the noise and focus on the dreams, goals, and priorities that will allow every client to feel confident about their decisions.
