Featuring:
• Jody Cleminson – Financial Advisor with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals, families and business owners build and protect wealth.
• Mary Jo Fedy – Chief Financial Officer at KPMG with over 35 years supporting privately held companies and championing financial literacy.
• Sarah Mumtaz – Founder and Principal Lawyer at Sarah Mumtaz Law Offices, focusing on estates, family and corporate law, with a strong emphasis on estate planning and helping families navigate complex decisions with clarity.
