Financial wellness workshops
Your financial journey is personal — and it touches every part of life, from your
day-to-day decisions to your long-term goals. But navigating it on your own can feel
overwhelming, often raising more questions than answers. That’s why UA is offering
financial wellness sessions designed to help you feel more informed, confident and
supported. Whether you're planning ahead or navigating life’s changes, these sessions
offer guidance to help you make thoughtful
choices that strengthen your overall financial well-being and long-term financial
security — for yourself and your family.
UA has partnered with Securian Financial, your life insurance provider, to offer virtual
educational sessions that provide actionable steps to help with money management and
a secure retirement. Join us for 60 minutes to learn actionable strategies, ask questions
and take meaningful steps toward greater peace of
mind. It’s time well spent.
All sessions are available at no additional cost to you.
