During Pride Month, financial planners and advisors are invited to join a meaningful Conversation Circle hosted by members of the NAPFA Pride Affinity Group.
This interactive session will focus on working more effectively and thoughtfully with members of the LGBTQ+ community. As our profession continues to prioritize inclusivity—both within our firms and across our client relationships—it's essential to stay informed and intentional in our approach.
We’ll share educational resources, discuss the evolving landscape of inclusive language, and explore ways to better support both your colleagues and clients. Bring your questions, insights, and experiences for an engaging and impactful discussion. We look forward to learning together.
