This is
an extraordinary time in our history. The COVID-19 pandemic is
having a profound impact on the health of our loved ones, the businesses we
rely upon, the strength of the global economy, and the way we live our daily
lives. To help our members with their collective financial health
during this crisis, MSA is offering two different weekly webinar series, each
with a distinct focus.
Series A: Budgeting
When Income is Uncertain | 9:00 AM (PST) on Fridays
Millions of Americans are
seeing their income become increasingly unpredictable. The good news is
that there are many new programs trying to help. Each webinar in this
series will begin with a few minutes covering government-based programs and
nationwide resources as they develop. The next twenty minutes or so
will focus on specific budgeting tactics, student loan repayment
strategies and debt/credit tips that can help during these
challenging times. We’ll wrap up with 30 minutes spent addressing
your questions.
Series B: Investment
Strategies in Volatile Markets | 12:00 PM (PST) on Fridays
Financial markets are
volatile whenever the future earnings of companies, the stability of
industries or the direction of global economies are uncertain. So when
this happens, what do you do? Each webinar in this series will spend
a few minutes reviewing updates to government and corporate actions intended to
stabilize the markets, with the majority of time centered on discussing investing
principles, plus current investment opportunities and challenges.
Investment themes addressed will be those most often brought up by our
members. We’ll leave the last 30 minutes to address your questions and
concerns.

the session presentation and handouts, will automatically be
