The Power of Women in the Economy

Women are shaping the economic landscape and taking on more financial responsibility than ever before.

Mark Dennis is offering another free educational workshop entitled “The Power of Women in the Economy” at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at Café at the Hamptons in Fernandina Beach, located at 95742 Amelia Concourse.

“Women are shaping the economic landscape and taking on more financial responsibility than ever before,” says Dennis. “Longer life spans, lower earnings, and their roles as caregivers take a big bite out of retirement assets for women as a group, placing many of them at risk of poverty in their golden years. Only about one in three women have any sort of financial plan in place to help them navigate these challenges.”

This workshop is designed for women (and the men who care about them) to learn more about unique financial struggles faced by women and how to avoid or overcome these planning obstacles.

Topics discussed at the workshop will include:

-Why the economic crisis is a “wake-up call” for everyone’s retirement security – and what you can do about it.
-Why women are (and should be) more involved in household financial and investment decisions.
-How to feel more confident and better informed about important financial choices.

Seating for this free workshop is limited and reservations are highly recommended. Reserve seats by calling Mark Dennis at 904-491-1889 or reserve online at womanpower102012.eventbrite.com/#.
