June's HER Collective Note explores the conversations that shape our future. Join us as we welcome Intergenerational Financial Advisor Janet Hum for an open discussion on building, protecting, and growing wealth with confidence. We're also celebrating a meaningful community milestone as HER Seat at the Table receives recognition through CMEE Hall of Fame nominations. Together, we're creating space for the conversations that matter most.

This month, we invite you to reflect on the stories, traditions, and individuals who have shaped your journey, and how you continue to carry that forward in your leadership.
