Personal Financial Planning Seminar

Most of us spend more time planning our vacations than our personal finances. While we normally get an annual physical and dental check-up, we don't bother with a financial one. To help remedy this imbalance, the KACNY invited Kellogg alums to attend an educational talk on personal financial planning. Attendees received a checklist and worksheets to help better plan their financial future. They also picked up some ideas in the areas of cash management, risk management, investments, taxes, retirement planning, and estate planning. The program was conducted by Carol Spomer, MBA (Kellogg), and Kelly Imamura, JD, LLM (Tax) CPA, and CFP (University of Chicago – B.S. Economics, Columbia Law School, and NYU Law and Business Schools), both financial representatives with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. The event was held at the unofficial KACNY home, The Williams Club.

Special thanks to Carol Spomer ’78 for planning this event.
