Organizing group trips among friends. Touching your toes. Planning for your financial future. Reading the small print at the eye doctor’s office. What do all of those examples have in common? They get more complicated and difficult as we get older and more established in our lives.

While we can’t help you touch your toes please join us for an in-depth discussion on financial wellness and planning with financial expert Elisabeth Dewailly. Over the course of an hour Elisabeth will lead a discussion on financial planning and key aspects to keep in mind as you grow your wealth through investing and/or savings.

Elisabeth Dewailly is a Financial Advisor and partner on an all women multi-generational team at Merrill Lynch. She holds the CFA, CFP®, CSRIC™, and CPFA charters and is a strong proponent of impact investing

Salary Negotiation Master Class

January 31, 2023 | 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. EST | VIRTUAL

By now we’re all aware of the pay gap that exists between men and women. According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, women of color make $0.63 for every dollar their white male counterpart makes. Yes, there are gender biases and opportunity gaps, but there is another reason women aren’t paid their value. Most women don’t ask. There are literally thousands of dollars budgeted by organizations for negotiations.

 Join us for our first event of the year, where Career & Leadership Strategist Melissa Fleury will teach you how to:

• Identify and overcome the fear of negotiating money
• Learn the BEST tools and resources to research salary
• Master how to communicate and ask for more money
• Learn how to overcome objections when negotiating your salary

This zoom event is free for active members of WCCD and $25.00 for non-members.
