The Importance of Understanding Your Own Money 
 
Having worked with many women over the years, we have become familiar with the challenges women face when handling their financial affairs.  We understand that getting the right financial recommendations can be difficult and that you can often be given solutions "for the masses" and not individualized planning strategies.
 
 Join us for a fun evening as we talk about why it is important for you to understand your own money.  We've planned a great evening out for you including a simple 20 minute presentation and a fabulous dinner!

Thursday June 26, 2008

Athena Awards

The Athena Award program recognizes women for professional excellence, valuable service to the community and assistance to other women in the attainment of professional goals and leadership skills. The Athena Award is widely considered a great honor.
 
The Allegheny Conference and the Athena Committee are seeking nominations for this year's Athena Award.  Deadline for submissions is June 30th. Finalists will be announced in August, with the winner being announced at a luncheon on September 8th. The luncheon is generally attended by more than 800 people.
 
In 2005, Chicks Judie Donaldson, Kristen Lane and I were all finalists.  Judie was the very well-deserving winner and Kristen and I were happy losers.  :-)
 
If you have a female client, colleague or contact that you would like to consider for nomination, information about the Athena program and an on-line nomination form is available at www.athena-pittsburgh.com
