2017 Presentation Description: The new administration has a Cabinet of successful doers, many with significant experience in business, investment and philanthropy. The Republican party has maintained a Congressional majority in the US Senate and House and at the state level with 32 legislatures and 33 governors - polls show rising confidence in the business community and the financial markets.

What does this mean for our families? What opportunities do our families now have to start a new road to wealth; to protect and grow our money and keep it away from taxes? How do we win financially for our families regardless of politics or the economy? Are businesses now going to thrive due to President Trump lifting regulations?

Catherine will look at the first 100 days of the Administration:

• Accomplishments and Challenges for President Trump
• What Can We Expect From Washington This Year?
• What Does This Mean for Our Economy?
• What Does This Mean for You and Your Portfolio?

Catherine's presentation will leave time for Questions & Answers and a lively discussion. Discourse in America under President Trump is both live and lively because that is what democracy and markets are all about!
