Received an email from a friend who asked if TV residents might be interested in having Julie Jason come to speak. I don't know who would be "in charge" of lining up speakers but have attached Julie's CV. Anyone have any comments?

[shcisamax]

Shucks. I just tried to open the document I attached and it doesn't open. Let me know if you are also having a problem? Thanks.

Can't open it. It's a DOC file.

I can't open your attachment. Is Julie Jason the Financial guru that wrote a book on Retirement?

[shcisamax]

Yes, Julie is the financial guru that wrote the book on Retirement.

So this doesn't open word docs? hmmmn. How would I post her CV from the word doc I have?

[kfierle]

Try saving it as a .pdf file and then repost.

By the way, it opened fine for me.

[jblum315]

Opened for me too

[shcisamax]

I have no idea how to save as a pdf. Judy, can you post the entire CV? That would eliminate the problem with opening it. More importantly, after reading it, who would be the person to call to see if htere is interest in having her come to TV to speak.

I don't know Sandra. I was just pulling on a leg here and there. AND wasn't the fitness girl, the walk off the pounds girl at the square? I was funning you a bit.

I am your friend.

I had better go back and delete that. I have never ever been good at being a smart aleck. Sorry.

[kfierle]

Here is the link in a format that should open for all interested.

[shcisamax]

Gracie, you really had me on that one.

[2BNTV]

Opened for me. Here you go.

JULIE JASON: A TRUSTED VOICE IN RETIREMENT INVESTING


A trusted voice in retirement investing, Julie Jason started her career on Wall Street as a lawyer after earning her advanced law degree from Columbia University. Her experience writing prospectuses and proxy statements helped her develop a critical eye and a taste for healthy skepticism.
Over the years, she has served as an arbitrator and an mediator for Finra, the regulatory body overseeing the financial services industry, and as a money manager focusing on the special needs of well-to-do families approaching retirement for Jackson, Grant Investment Advisers, Inc., a firm she co-founded twenty years ago.
As a financial columnist of 15 years, she approaches retirement topics with analytical fervor and fresh insights gained from her 30 plus years in the trenches.

Julie's focus on investor education extends to commenting on SEC rule proposals, some of which have been quoted by the SEC. Her articles on disclosure have appeared in peer-reviewed law and CPA publications (Trusts & Estates Magazine and the Journal of Accountancy). Her books and articles have received a number of awards for excellence in financial writing, including recognition by Booklist (American Library Association/ Top Ten Business Book) and the NY State Society of CPAs (excellence in financial journalism).
Over the years, Julie has addressed national (CNBC) and local TV (Chanel 12), radio (NPR), and in-person audiences on financial literacy and investment topics (AARP National Conventions 2011 and 2012). She has taught investment principles to members of the general public as well as attorneys and accountants for continuing education credit.

So I repeat the question: Is this something people in TV would enjoy and, if so, who do I contact or who do I tell my friend to contact?

BTW: Thanks, 2BNTV
