The session, which will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 15 from 6-8 p.m., will focus on retirement planning, investing, college funding, insurance and financial challenges unique to women, Duffy said.

Said Duffy in a statement, “During client meetings, I am often asked, ‘What if something happens to me? What if something happens to my spouse? At what level of net worth do I need a will?’ I find that there are lots of great questions out there, and a general level of uncertainty. Uncertainty can be stressful. My goal is to provide a forum where women can feel more comfortable asking questions in a casual setting.”
