What a day, what a buzz, what a success! Our chapter’s signature consumer program, Twin Cities Financial Planning Day was held on Saturday, October 25th, at Wilder Center in St. Paul.
33 Chapter members volunteered in various capacity, logistics, presenting, pro bono counseling, etc., serving 225 consumers. The half day event was sponsored by FPA, CFP Board, The Foundation for Financial Planning, and The US Conference of Mayors.
Sanni Brown-Adefope, KMOJ radio host and improv artist kicked off the day with her inspiring personal story. Sanni’s opening remarks were followed by breakout presentations on 9 different financial planning topics, from budgeting, education, investment, retirement to estate planning.
Concurrent with financial planning breakout presentations were one-on-one financial planner sessions, a back to back 15-minutes sessions with consumers. Volunteer planners answered a variety of personal finance questions from consumers, ranging from unemployment insurance, 401(k) rollover, investing, Social Security, reverse mortgage.
