Description

As the largest wealth transfer in history approaches, how can Thurston County ensure this wealth stays local to support a thriving community? That’s the key question at the heart of the Thurston County Chamber’s November Forum. With support from the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound, the event will focus on strategies for retaining community wealth and giving back in ways that strengthen the region.

The keynote speaker, Kristi Mitchem, Founding Partner at &Partners and former CEO of BMO Global Asset Management, will lead the discussion on the critical topic of "Wealth Transfer." With trillions of dollars expected to pass from one generation to the next in the coming decades, the forum will address how individuals, businesses, and nonprofits can work together to ensure that wealth remains in Thurston County and is used for the community’s long-term benefit.

Key takeaways from the forum will include:

- Maximizing wealth creation during your lifetime.

- Practical strategies for keeping wealth local and using it for charitable purposes.

- The importance of wealth transfer for businesses and nonprofits, and why they must pay attention now.

- Actionable steps for giving back efficiently and ensuring your community thrives.
