Calendar of Events

Meetings are usually held the 3rd Tuesday of the month. It is our goal to have the regular monthly meetings qualify for MN insurance licensing, CPE (NASBA) and CFP Board credits. The August meeting is replaced by the annual golf tournament. The Code of Ethics course is held twice every year in the metro area and once a year in Greater Minnesota. One special educational session is in a case study format, providing four credits, and is usually held in the Spring.

Monthly Chapter Meeting - The Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge: Transforming your Client's Relationship with Money
Presenter Rick Kahler
Ebenezer Scrooge would seem an unlikely source from which financial planners could glean wisdom on how to facilitate change in their clients.   However, Dickens' classic tale of how Scrooge left behind his broken relationship with money and transformed into a joyful, compassionate and generous man is a powerful model planners can benefit from today. Come join Klontz and Kahler in an enlightening presentation on how you too can transform the role of money in your clients' lives.
