Event Details

Financial planning isn’t about limiting your life — it’s about creating the freedom to live it on your terms. In this empowering and interactive third session of the Women and Money Roundtable, moderators Liz Maccarone and Julia Strayer will explore the core building blocks of a strong financial plan, how to align your assets with your values and goals, and why timing and intentionality are key. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose behind every financial decision.

This program series is a special in-person continuation of the long-running virtual Women and Money Roundtable hosted by the Darien Library. All are welcome. Check out their virtual September meeting HERE.
