FUTURE EVENTS
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15th [6:00 – 8:00 p.m.] The DCNEO Women Present: Women and Wealth Management by Heather Ettinger ‘83
Heather Ettinger ‘ 83 is a managing partner at Fairport Asset Management. Heather has been named one of the top 50 distinguished women in wealth management. She dedicates her professional practice and community involvement to advancing the interests of women and girls. Her “Solutions for Women” seminars aim to enlighten women on investing, financial planning, and socially responsible philanthropic giving. Heather is widely recognized for her unique expertise, experience, and dedication to helping other women build their financial acumen and wealth; both in her professional practice and community involvement. Most recently, she co-‐authored a study of over 550 women in 44 states entitled “Women of Wealth: Why Does the Financial Services Industry Still Not Hear Them?”
Heather’s presentation will be audience specific on how to approach investing, financial planning, and strategic wealth management. She will emphasize why women should be deliberate in considering these issues, and should take hold of their own asset management. She will also be a resource to those who have questions and concerns, and can recommend further resources to your needs.
The talk will be open to the Ivy 15 network and will be followed by a mixer to meet Dartmouth and Ivy affiliated women in the area, inclusive of hot and cold appetizers and a cash bar.

cost of bringing speakers from Dartmouth to our meetings. You’ll note that the dues are for a
