Thought Forum™ workshops and presentations bring important voices, interesting ideas and new perspectives to help you develop and fulfill your personal goals.

Past events have addressed wide ranging subjects from market trends and the current economic environment and outlook to the psychology of wealth.

This fall, we brought Lucy Bernholz to Seattle to discuss the future of philanthropy and ideas on how to keep good causes alive in a bad economy. Past events have featured our own experts like when managing directors Kristi Mathisen and Barbara Potter discussed effective estate planning techniques in a low-interest rate environment. Other topics have included "How Much Is Enough?" "Healthy Aging," and "The Secret Mission of Baby Boomers."

Hands on Approach

We also know the value of educational workshops or classes for applied learning and we collectively call these programs ReGENU. These workshops cover topics dealing with philanthropy and kids and money as well as various other family issues such as intergenerational communication and family governance. We brought Tracy Gary to town to discuss Inspired Philanthropy and partnered with The Seattle Foundation to bring Nathan Dungan to town. He worked with three generations of families to facilitate discussions about Money and Values. Often ReGENU classes and workshops are just for the next generation like our upcoming event Finance and Philanthropy 101.
