OCTOBER 2021

MONEY MOMENT

Timely topics at this year's conference

from a number of women speakers

The 7th annual Southern Tier Women's Financial Conference is next weekend - October 23, 2021 and will feature keynote speaker Syble Solomon. The event will be offered both in person and online from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at The Center on Park Avenue in Corning.

Syble is a speaker, educator and coach who specializes in the psychology of money. She developed Money Habitudes, a money personality profile that helps people talk about money and understand what motivates their money behaviors. Her keynote topic is entitled H.O.T. F.L.A.S.H. This isn’t what you are thinking….HOT FLASH can help you take control of your life today whatever your age! Forget about the guilt that your life isn’t in balance. Pay attention to these eight areas of life and all will work out! You can live your fullest life today and be prepared to have choices in the future. The eight areas she will cover include Health, Others (relationships with others), Transition (how to you manage change), Finances, Legal issues, Activities of life, Spirituality and Self-development, and Housing.

We also have numerous other women professionals speaking on the following topics:

Consumer Lending Know How (Scores, Credit Reports, and more!) - Marleah Brenning, AVP of Consumer Lending, ServU Credit Union
Calming the Storm: Find Your Productivity in a Turbulent World - Lisa Zawrotny, Positively Productive Systems
Support Your Immune Focus! - Sophie Alexander, MS, Owner, Leader Practitioner Nutrition Wellness Center
Retirement Journey Roadmap (from your 20’s and beyond) - Amy Irvine CFP®, EA, MPAS℠ Rooted Planning Group
Discover Your Money Personality - Nancy Reigelsperger, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Steuben County, Financial Educator
Low Tech Explanations of High Tech Threats - Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)

The Southern Tier Women's Financial Conference is a diverse group of women who want to not just learn, but to share their financial and life experiences. This one-day conference was established because of the need to empower and educate women in our area about financial matters. Statistically women are a powerful financial force - many women serve as chief financial officers of their households, and we want to make sure these women are prepared for this position.

Register for the conference right now at bit.ly/womensfinanceconf21. The cost is $25 per person (ages 16 and up) and includes lunch, networking, conference materials, and conference gift. Each attendee will receive a deck of Syble Solomon's Money Habitude cards as a gift. There will also be door prizes and exhibitors.

Pictured above is Nancy Williamson, one of the conference organizers, who is retiring this year. Nancy brought a great deal of the success of this conference, and her presentation skills will forever be missed. Who can forget her amazing session on how to buy a car, or her early tip that attendees should buy an Alexa for Christmas? And her recipe tips were to die for. Thank you, Nancy, for all your hard work on this conference, and Congratulations!!!
