&lt;p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;Speaker:&amp;nbsp; John Halterman&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ncwvshrm.wildapricot.org/resources/Johns%20Bio.pptx"&gt;Johns Bio.pptx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Open Sans, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;Presentation Focus:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;The presentation focuses&amp;nbsp;on helping attendees understand four of the biggest challenges that can impact long-term financial success and retirement planning:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chaos&lt;/strong&gt; – Getting organized and creating a clear financial strategy rather than having accounts and decisions scattered everywhere.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Erosion&lt;/strong&gt; – Understanding how taxes and market volatility can quietly reduce wealth over time and discussing strategies to help minimize their impact.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exposure&lt;/strong&gt; – Planning for life's unexpected events and protecting your family and financial future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Default&lt;/strong&gt; – Estate and legacy planning to help ensure your assets are passed on according to your wishes instead of leaving things to chance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;Throughout the presentation, we discuss practical planning strategies surrounding investments, tax planning, family protection, and estate planning. Our goal is simply to educate people on common financial challenges we see every day and provide ideas that can help them make more informed decisions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Open Sans, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;One thing that's important to us is that this is truly an educational event. We are not a sales organization—we're a team of financial professionals who believe education should come first. During the presentation, there are no product pitches, no pressure, and no expectation that anyone signs up for anything. In fact, one of the core messages we share is that we're not salespeople—we provide professional advice and act as fiduciaries, always striving to do what's in our clients' best interests.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
