This year’s theme “Building Your Wealth…Construyendo Su Fortuna� covered various aspects of financial education, proper planning and retirement trends presented by our expert English and Spanish session panelists. In addition, we were thrilled to feature renowned Latina financial expert, Julie Stav as our luncheon key note speaker. Her compelling message of personal financial independence was a perfect fit for this year’s conference theme of building wealth.
