Open enrollment season is a time to review more than just your healthcare benefits.

It’s also a good reminder to check in on your retirement accounts, financial goals, and beneficiary designations. After all, you’ve worked hard to build assets. Make sure they’re set to go to the people and causes that matter most to you!

🔎 Take a moment to review this often-overlooked part of your financial plan:

Have you ever told your beneficiary that they’re your beneficiary? If not, now is the time. Don’t wait until it’s too late to have the conversation.

🔐 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

This year’s theme: Don’t Make It Easy for Them.

Cybercriminals look for easy opportunities. Simple habits can go a long way toward protecting your personal information and accounts:

✅ Use strong, unique passwords
✅ Enable multi-factor authentication when available
✅ Keep devices and software up to date
✅ Think twice before clicking links or opening attachments

Small steps. Big impact.

🦋 Monarchs update!

Last month we shared the butterfly habitats popping up across RPA’s offices. Since then, our unofficial “Monarch Division” has raised and released more than 450 butterflies!

Along the way, colleagues, clients, kids, and grandkids stopped by to witness the caterpillars-to-butterflies transformation firsthand.
