Clarifi and our FinanciallyHers program recently wrapped up another successful round of Lunch ‘N’ Learn workshops. Attendees were invited to bring their lunches to our Center City office and learn about topics ranging from having the right insurance to preparing for retirement. Over 80 attendees participated in Lunch ‘N’ Learn during our summer and fall sessions.
Summer topics ranged from smart budgeting to raising money-saavy kids. In the fall, workshop topics included retirement, insurance and estate planning.
The feedback from Lunch ‘N’ Learn has been overwhelmingly positive. “[These workshops] are great. Very informative and much needed,” says Anna Fluellen, one of our attendees. “I’m gonna make sure I put my ducks in a row because of [Lunch ‘N’ Learn],” she adds.
Our fall series was led by three volunteer educators, Sharon Bonnem, Shauna Hopkins and Caity Kennedy. Ms. Bonnem and Ms. Kennedy are members of the Philadelphia chapter of the Financial Planning Association and Ms. Hopkins is a State Farm Insurance Owner/Agent. Clarifi wishes to thank all of them for lending their financial expertise.
Given the success of these workshops, Clarifi and FinanciallyHers are already thinking about new workshops for 2012. “We are always looking for ways to integrate learning in a way that allows women to balance their work and family life and the Lunch ‘N’ Learn series seems to be a great way to do that,” says Joy McManus, Program Manager for FinanciallyHers.
Since 2008, FinanciallyHers has given hope, clarity and empowerment to over 1,700 women. For more information, click here.
