### Description of this month's topic

**Featuring Molly Morrow and Pam Manegre**
Real estate investing takes courage, vision, and persistence. Once you have built your portfolio, the next step is protecting it and making sure every dollar is working as hard as you are. This event is designed for women investors who want practical tools to save of taxes and protect their investments.

**Topics we will cover:**

* Structuring investments for creditor protection so your assets stay secure
* Tax-efficient strategies to help your money grow inside your corporation
* Succession, retirement, and exit planning so your legacy is protected

Women investors face unique challenges, from financing hurdles to balancing family priorities while scaling portfolios. The right financial strategies provide stability, unlock new opportunities, and give you peace of mind as you continue to grow.

This session is about more than money management. It is about educating women on how to build a future that reflects their values and vision. You will leave with clear examples, a better understanding of your options, and some next steps that you can take.
