I’m listening and trying to understand how others are finding this conference compared to the prior summits. Is it possible to miss that core diversity initiative by avoiding the more obvious breakout choices?

I have been to the @CFPBoard’s diversity summits. This year, the education symposium and diversity summit have been combined. I worried about the dilution of the diversity message, but they’ve been clear their commitment is present throughout this conference. #cfpconnections2024

Some financial planning clients look for validation, others to delegate. All expect their advisors to find the best fit for their individual need. How are we building the client experience where they are in control of building their own plan? #cfpconnections2024 #cfppro

You don’t just have supporters (in MD gov), you have fans. @GovWesMoore #DDDay2023

When we say that we are going to life up this community… that it will have a meaningful place at the table, we mean that - Wes Moore #DDDay2023

Lt. Miller is one of us, having family with IDD. The future is bright for our advocacy.

I feel silly to be emotional seeing both Lt. Gov. Miller and Gov. Moore walk into our day at the legislature. So rare to see leadership show up for our community. #DDDay2023

The ABLE act continues to be one of the proudest pieces of legislation that MD legislators have worked on #DDDay2023

Kudos to @parentsplace_MD for have so many bi-lingual Spanish-English resources. I do not find many support systems that have dedicated their time and money to educating non-English speakers, myself included, and it is a huge benefit to your community.

@BionicSocialite He's learned from social cues of the immature that he has to guard himself. Get him around people who want to hear his wild ideas.

@LizWYoder Loving all your ideas. I almost emailed you to ask directly but didn’t want to be a bother as I know you’re busy. It’s been such a challenge. As he’s getting older he’s becoming even more of an introvert. To the point of a hermit.

I need some ideas, friends. We found out that my husband’s son (who is on the spectrum) eats lunch alone at school every single day. We were at a fundraiser last night and someone from the school mentioned it to us. (We live in a small town.) This doesn’t feel right. Thoughts?

@BionicSocialite Middle and high school social politics are annoying for most. If he is disinterested himself in the conversation at lunch, maybe there is a teacher who’d be interested in mentoring his interest area during lunch. Maybe a long shot. Get feedback from the school and be creative.

@BionicSocialite If it doesn't fit in the dishwasher, I don't have time for it.

I sure did.

Interested in #government and #history? Get into #financialplanning Nerd out with me as I read through #HR2617 #SecureAct2 and look for the nuggets that impact my #disabled clients. Continue on through the #POMS if you're really in love with #policy. #CFP #disabilityadvocacy

My New Year's day was eventful with a discovery of a burst pipe in our laundry room. Use the New Year to review your insurance coverages! Need help? Make a plan wish a financial planner! #homeinsruance #NewYear2023 #CFP

I enjoy these little snapshots of time, even though comparisons are pretty meaningless if you don't look at other metrics. Here's how much money it takes to be considered middle class in 20 major U.S. cities cnb.cx/3WEU6FL

There are other ways to legally pay people through the benefit structure within the company. Look at your state’s treatment of retirement accounts when people are enrolled in the #workerswithdisabilities programs. Don’t know where to look to find out more? @PlanningAcross

Things that do reduce income from #disabilityincome and #Medicaid? Full-time Student Income Exclusion, Income Related Work Expenses (including basically any business expense for #selfemployed individuals), and SS Work Subsidies. #SSA #SSDI #DAC #disabilityemployment #SSI #IRWE

As a reminder to employers of people with disabilities: An ABLE account cannot be used to discount income from Social Security or Medicaid. It can only currently be used to protect assets. ABLE does nothing for income. #2022ipi
