Panel Discussion to Address Impacts of Today's Economy on Retirement
Behind the Headlines: Making the Most of Your Retirement targeted to 70 + age group
Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB ) February 26, 2009 -- Just how has the change in economy affected retirement? What's it going to take to retire with security, manage long-term health care, and protect one's estate? Where are the financial risks? A panel of financial experts will discuss these questions and more at the Atlanta History Center from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on March 16, 2009. The discussion, "Behind the Headlines: Making the Most of Your Retirement," will address estate planning, asset allocation, health care management, living wills, retirement strategies and other topics of interest to the 70+ age group.
Discussion members include Donna Barwick, J.D., Senior Director of Wealth Management for The Bank of New York Mellon; Henry Bowden, founder of The Bowden Law Firm; John J. Geraghty, Executive Vice-President of SunTrust Bank; Jim Hansberger, Managing Director, The Hansberger Group; and Michael A. Mohr, Managing Director of The Bank of New York Mellon in Atlanta. Emory Schwall, an Atlanta attorney, Certified Estate Planner and Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Georgia representing the Insurance Commission, will moderate the discussion.
Hosted by Peachtree Hills Place, a residential community offering a continuum of care in Buckhead for people ages 55 and older, the event is the second in a three-part series addressing issues that directly affect this demographic. Event moderator Schwall is a member of the community. Attendance is free, but registration is required for the panel discussion, which will be held in the Woodruff Auditorium of the Atlanta History Center at 130 West Paces Ferry Road, March 16, 2009, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information or to register, visit www.peachtreehillsplace.com or call 404-467-4900.
"So much of the talk today about retirement and retirement living is focused on how much money you need to retire," said E. Andrew (Andy) Isakson, managing partner of Isakson Living, developer of Peachtree Hills Place. "But more important is how you want to live, feel fulfilled and reach your 'dream' retirement. This is the ultimate goal of retirement planning and what our panel will help attendees think about."
The final discussion in Peachtree Hills Place's three-part educational series will focus on the health risks today's seniors face and how to manage the costs associated with future health care. The discussion will take place during the month of April.
