Lisa Kirchenbauer, Founder and President, Omega Wealth Management – May 7, 2023

Lisa Kirchenbauer, St. John’s parishioner and an accomplished wealth manager, will speak on aligning values and money in a talk sponsored by the Care of Creation ministry. Some investors believe that there are trade-offs to Environmental, Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing or think that it’s just a fad. But the idea of aligning of values and investments is not new and has become a smart investment strategy for many organizations, including the Episcopal Church. Join Lisa, CFP®, RLP®, CeFT®, as she provides an overview of the history and current considerations of ESG investing, particularly as it integrates with the strategy of St. John’s Investment Committee.
