Chapter News: President's Message

Dear Members,

Happy Fall! It is hard to believe that we are in the last quarter of the year. I hope you are enjoying the weather, family time, and hitting all of your professional goals for the year.

Last month, we had the privilege of gathering at ProShares for a truly enlightening event. It was an incredible opportunity to delve into insightful discussions, broaden our horizons, and strengthen our network. We were privileged to hear from three outstanding speakers: Mary G. Morris of Virginia529 shared insights on 529 changes, Michael DiJoseph from Vanguard delved into the art of Behavioral Coaching, and Simeon Hyman of ProShares provided a comprehensive economic update. The ProShares office is absolutely beautiful and totally worth crossing state borders for all of our Virginia members! We will definitely be hosting an another event there in 2024.
