Women's Financial Workshop
Financial Coach, Aurilis Sanchez of Primerica, held a virtual financial workshop for a group of women in our Community Support Program. In the workshop, the women learned about budgeting, saving, insurance, and basic investment strategies. Aurilis presented the topics in a fun, lively, and understandable way that helped the attendees feel comfortable and engaged.
The women had a great time, learned a lot, and are looking forward to the next workshop! Thank you, Aurilis!
If you are interested in attending a financial workshop, offered in both English and Spanish, or would like to connect with Aurilis directly, she may be reached at [email protected] or 973-714-8698.
