Hosted at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial, this event will offer a chance to network with local young professionals and enjoy short presentations on financial and mental wellness topics. Light breakfast fare and coffee is included with the purchase of a ticket.
Focus on Financial Fitness
In this financial wellness presentation for young professionals, Melissa Fradenburg will delve into crucial topics such as understanding and optimizing your debt-to-income ratio, unlocking strategies to boost your cash flow, and demystifying the question of how much you should be setting aside for a secure retirement.
Weaving Wellness into Work

With science-backed data and anecdotal evidence, Cass will demonstrate why taking care of ourselves throughout the workday can no longer be seen as a luxury but a necessity.
