The purpose of this seminar was to help participants expand their mindset about the longevity revolution and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Jean Daley (Thrivent Financial for Lutherans-Lutheran Engagement Specialist) opened up the meeting with introductions. The How to Thrive in Retirement (Personal Workbook) was the tool that we used during the presentation.

The Keynote speaker was Thomas Bruckner (Managing Partner-Southeast Wisconsin Region of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

The workshop introduced Thrivent Financial for Lutherans' Seven Principles for Retirement.
· Have a Vision, Plan Ahead, Rethink Working, Spend Wisely, Save and Invest, Protect Your Future, Give Back

Some of the key points of the presentation were:

· Hey, we are living longer!!!. (How do we lead a longer healthier life)
· Re-inventing our adulthood (Do we need to be employed longer then we expected to 5, 10, 15 years ago?)
· Financial Wake-Up Call (Develop your vision, plan ahead, rethink working, spend wisely)
