TEAM EVENTS

This year marked The Esslie Group's 2nd Annual Women's Recognition Event. When this idea came about, it was to recognize the fact that women have such an impact on day-to-day life, let alone the achievements that they are accomplishing throughout our society. We wanted to be able to thank and educate at the same time, as statistically it is proven that less than 70% of women are saving for retirement, compared to 81% of men. (Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies).
The event was held at the Holiday Inn and Express in Latham in their Grand Ballroom, and our team collaborated with The American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign to raise close to $16,000 dollars with silent auction, donations from Stewart's and The Nigro Group and The Esslie Group as well. To top it off, three amazing women were recognized that evenig as well:
1) Lori Marcella- Marcella's Appliances (Community Award Recipient)
2) Andrea Crisafulli- Crisafulli Bros. (Regional Award Recipient)
3) Marcia White- President of The College of St. Rose (Breakthrough Award Recipient)
All three of these entrepreneurs showed grace, humility and strength while accepting their respective awards, and offered great advice to the 145+ in attendance that evening. Please watch the video and enjoy!

The Esslie Group was proud to take part in the Capital Region Toys For Tots annual golf invitational fundraising event held on July 18th at The Edison Club in Rexford, NY. The fundraiser along with generous donators and supporters were able to raise over $21,000 to help prepare for the 2022 Toys For Tots season starting in October!

Welcome to our First Annual Women's Appreciation Event held by The Esslie Group! The evening was filled with great conversation, a guest speaker from Goldman Sachs and the recipient of our "BREAK THROUGH AWARD" in recognition of Shannon Older, first female President of The Fort Orange Club.

Statistically speaking, women on average are far less likely to speak to a financial advisor, whether they are male or female. This, along with the fact that women tend to live longer then men and also are beginning to earn more income as well drove us to realize that something should be done about this. This will be a yearly event moving forward to continue to honor and recognize what women are achieving on a daily basis, as well as striving to have the educational aspect of financial planning and security in retirement be on the minds of women across all demographics.
