For a 13th year, Elville and Associates is pleased to bring together our clients, friends, professional partners, and members of the community for a morning of education, food, music, and more!
This year’s theme, Protecting What Matters Most – Because Your Legacy Begins With How You Live Today, takes a broader look at what planning really means. Of course, planning is about protecting your family and preparing for the future. But it’s also about the decisions we make today—how we approach our finances, protect ourselves and the people we love, care for our health and well-being, and live with purpose.
Throughout the morning, we’ll hear from speakers with very different areas of expertise, including estate and legacy planning, the psychology of money and financial decision-making, fraud and the growing impact of artificial intelligence, and the connection between wellness, purpose, and the legacy we create during our lifetime. Presenters include:

And as always, the morning is about more than presentations.

Representatives from the Alzheimer’s Association, Autism Society of Maryland, and WBJC will also be joining us, along with other resources and information available throughout the event. And yes, we’ll have some great door prizes along the way!
The event is open to Elville and Associates clients, family members and friends, members of the community, financial advisors, and other professionals who share an interest in thoughtful planning and living well.
Whether you’ve attended our annual event many times or this will be your first, we hope you’ll join us for what should be a meaningful and enjoyable and Saturday morning together.
Protecting What Matters Most isn’t only about what we leave behind. It’s about the life we’re living now, the people we care about, and the choices we make along the way.
