Virtual Coffee Break
Preparing for the Golden Years
(Our Parents or Our Own)
Friday, March 13, 2026
Presenter: Leslie Juhn
Catholic Cemeteries Association
No one ever plans to be sick, disabled or incapacitated. Yet, planning for the future can make all the difference when faced with an emergency, sudden, terminal illness, or approaching the end-of-life. Being prepared by having important decisions made and documented will help ensure your wishes are honored, ease the burden on your loved ones, and give everyone peace of mind. We’ll go over the key “affairs” to plan for in advance, and dispel myths that lull people into complacency. Don’t wait too long.

I have been a member since 2003 and have found WBN to be one of the most dynamic women’s networking organizations in our area. WBN is a community of women in business who truly support each others professional and personal growth. Not only has it assisted me in making valuable business contacts, but I have received invaluable business advice and support, as well as, friendships that truly make a difference.

I love that this group of women are all supportive of each other! In my 50+ years of experience, I've never been around a group of women that will go out of their way to support each other the way the women of the WBN do.
Karen Yun-Lutz
I love the variety of professional women I have access to. From small business owners to legal or real estate professionals, I have women with lots of knowledge at my fingertips!
Nancy Boyer
Before I joined WBN I was very skeptical about groups like this. When my friend invited me to a meeting, that all changed! I can count on these women to refer my business, as I refer them. I now have a network of women who I feel comfortable referring. I also have a network of women that I can reach out to for questions, and get honest answers. Anytime I have a question, I can usually find someone in WBN that can help me. That is priceless!
