Topic: Financial Organizing: The Key to Financial Confidence

We all have busy day to day lives and when we see the headlines about volatility in the stock market and inflationary pressures, it’s easy to worry about the state of our finances, to wonder if we are doing all that we should be doing to keep our affairs in order and to plan for the future.

Whether you are managing your own financial affairs or assisting a family member with theirs, these questions are often top of mind.

Who should I turn to for expert advice?

What tasks should I be doing monthly, annually, or every few years to ensure that my financial and legal affairs are in order?

How much should I save and spend each year? How can I ensure that I do not outlive my retirement savings?

How can I make it easy for my family be able to manage my affairs when I am no longer able to do so?

How can I leave a legacy for my family and the organizations and causes I care about?

Our expert panel will share their professional expertise and practical tips and tools for financial organizing so that you can feel confident that you have the right team of experts in your corner and the systems and oversight in place to be confident in your financial future.

The Panelists:

- Christine Dolan, Daily Money Manager, C. Dolan & Associates

- Ryan A. Brown, Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law, Arlington Law Group

- Todd Ihrig, Financial Advisor, Invest With a Plan

Time: Jul 14, 2022 11:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Small Business Roundtable: Cyber Criminals 7/27/2022 12:00 Noon - 7/27/2022 1:00 PM

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 14:08:14 GMT

The Chamber's free monthly Small Business Roundtable is an important educational and networking opportunity for small businesses. This event provides expert speakers on topics to help you grow your business, such as digital marketing and business development and also gives you the opportunity to make connections and grow your professional network. The forum is applicable to a variety of businesses and employee levels, from front-line customer service to owners.

THIS MONTH'S TOPIC: Don’t Let Cyber Criminals Steal Your Momentum presented by Dave Wilson (Founder and President) and Jeff Hormann (Business Development Manager) at Invario Network Engineers.

You’re working hard to grow your business. And then, bam, a cyber criminal decides to make you their next target. Suddenly everything you’ve worked for is at risk – your computers are locked, your business grinds to a halt, and your company’s sensitive data is up for sale on the dark web. Research shows that 60% of small businesses don’t survive being hit with a cyber-attack. Don’t let this be you.

Join certified cyber security expert Dave Wilson, Founder and President of Invario Network Engineers, for an eye-opening session on protecting your business from today’s cyber criminals. You’ll learn how to spot the tactics criminals are using, and the truth behind your biggest vulnerability. Spoiler alert – it’s not what you think it is. As an added bonus, he’ll give you three free steps you can take today to improve your company’s cyber security posture.

Dave’s experience comes from more than three decades of solving IT problems for small businesses. He’s been in the trenches and will share real world cybercrime stories to help you keep your company safe.
