This seminar explores several aspects of caring for aging parents and identifies issues that can impact their well being as well as your own. One of the hardest topics almost all of us will face at some time in our lives. Like many of the NEA MB workshops, the sooner you begin the process and the more often you talk about it, the better it will go. Please note: This is a very personal and not-so-fun topic, but the workshop is very engaging and thought provoking and you will leave feeling empowered to face the challenges ahead. Please join us, and plan to share experiences you may have had already or ask questions of others who have already been through this stage of life.

Please, no offense meant for the men in our association. In fact, what we will learn tonight is valuable information for all of us to understand. Women face unique financial challenges. This presentation highlights those challenges along with possible solutions to address them. Obviously, all women will appreciate the information we are sharing, as well as others who may have a mother, sister, or daughter for whom they may want to better understand these unique considerations. And, let’s be real, roles are less defined to day then they were 20 years ago and in many cases some of this information shared is applicable to the men as well. All are encouraged to attend.
