BetterInvesting Chapter Priorities:

Our priorities this year, which are in line with BetterInvesting National’s priorities for chapters, are:
 1. Establish and maintain at least one model club. Our chapter is in the process of forming a Model Club Investment Club.  
 2. Participate in Money Smart Week with at least one event open to the public, free of charge.
We are planning a program partnered with local Libraries in April.
3. Support Visit-A-Club program to help the public find clubs that are open to guests who want to learn about stock investing.
Volunteer Resources has the form for clubs to request enrollment.
4. Chapter directors making visits to BI clubs in their area.
 
 The SEFL Chapter needs the cooperation of area clubs to meet the last two requirements. Many of the club representatives that we have met reported that their membership is down due to attrition and new members are difficult to find. In addition, individual members have contacted us for a list of clubs looking for members close to their work or home. The Visit-A-Club program can provide a bridge between those looking for members and those seeking a club. Chapter directors are eager to meet with club members to help you get the most from your BetterInvesting membership.  For more information visit the chapter website https://www.betterInvesting.org/seflorida or contact@seflorida.betterinvesting.net
