04.01.2022 Wonderful to see the new #glassbreaker initiative for young women to talk about their superannuation choices, hosted by the team at Wake by The Reach Foundation. This discussion with Maree Pallisco, National Superannuation Leader at EY, will cover everything you’d ever want to know (but were never taught) about superannuation! The conversation will cover a range of topics including tips for sorting out your own super, why it’s so important and why women can be at a disadvanta...ge when it comes to super. With plenty of time to ask your own questions. While this webinar is designed for young women aged 18-25, much of the content will be universal. Feel free to take part on Thursday 22 October 2020.
