Save the Date: Women’s Wealth Management
May 8th, 2020
1:30- 4:00 p.m.
Location: TBD
Cost: Free
The Digital Moose Lounge is excited to partner with Project Worth to offer DML members a special 2-hour workshop, designed to educate women on their worth and outline steps to develop an action plan to start managing their financial lives. We will build community and conversation to make this workshop a comfortable place to learn what to do. Attendees will walk away with a better-defined wealth path and more confidence to know where and how to get advice and support.

Project Worth is co-founded by Heather Pelant, a fellow Canadian and a Partner at Baker Street Advisors.

This event will be limited to 30 spots. If you are interested, please add your name to the priority list and reserve a spot on Eventbrite here. We will share more details in the coming weeks.

“There was a realization that this is a pretty significant economic shift that is taking place, when we looked around at how the industry is responding and how women are responding, we found two things. One, the industry is lacking a really good engagement model for women. And two, women were not stepping into it.” – Heather Pelant, Co-Founder, Project Worth

Hockey! Hockey! Hockey!
The Digital Moose Lounge hosted not one, but TWO, hockey game socials in February and March. First, the Canucks came to town, then the Leafs came to San Jose for their one and only regular-season appearance. Although the Sharks won both games against the two Canadian franchises, a great time was had by all. Thank you to all the volunteers who made these events a success. And a big thank you to our event sponsors and partners: the Canadian Consulate, One Capital Management, RBC USA, and BC Trade and Invest.

Ask a Canadian: The hype around college
It’s hard not to notice the important role that post-secondary education plays in the United States. From getting a job to athletic events, “what’s your school?” is a familiar question. Trying to get into an American University isn’t an easy task either. Our board moose Hugh Morgan takes us back to school in our latest Ask a Canadian post.
Ask A Canadian: The hype around college.
Our social impact
A huge extra thank you to everyone who contributed to DML’s philanthropic efforts in 2019. As a group of Canadians who want to make a difference in our local communities, we selected the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Alameda Food Bank as the charities to benefit from our donations collected at our events. With your generosity, we raised over $600 for the Second Harvest Food Bank, surpassing the $500 raised last year, and collected more than 69 pounds of food. The food collected will provide 57 nutritious meals for those in need. For the Alameda Food Bank, we raised over $400 and collected 50 pounds of food. Have a charity you’d like to nominate for DML to benefit in 2020? Let us know at programs@digitalmooselounge.com.
