As pioneers in the area of women and money, it was BLANK years ago that the pair created the original, “in-person” It doesn’t take a wealth expert to run a Money Club – in fact, about 90% of in-person clubs that have cropped up around the country are led by everyday women.

She is co-founder of Bahr Investment Group and a CEA (Certified Estate Adviser), as well as a CDFA (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst).
