AWF Magazine - Q1 2024

AWF Investor Club

On April 11th, the AWF Investor Club kicked off its first meeting of 2024 with its largest turnout with 232 attendees who participated in an informative discussion about the “Understanding Roth Contributions in Your Workplace Savings Plan”, led by Dan Grauwiler from Fidelity . In our session, we explored various retirement planning tools offered by the AT&T Savings Plan, including 401K, Roth, After-tax, and HSA. We delved into the distinct differences between pre tax and after-tax contributions and used examples to illustrate their impact on paycheck and future tax liabilities. We also took a deeper dive into Roth IRA and Roth 401K to compare their differences on income limit and contribution limits. The discussion then shifted to more advanced strategies, such as Mega Backdoor Roth Conversion, which sparked great interest among the attendees and a fascinating discourse. We wrapped up with a final topic on HSA. Throughout the meeting, engagement levels were high. Participants actively asked questions, creating a lively and productive discussion.

AWF International The "Empowering Women at the Workplace" event was our first live event hosted by AT&T Women of Finance (AWF) in Naucalpan, Toreo. The dynamic Denise Cabanas, LATAM Networking AVP for AWF, introduced the esteemed Rachel Simon, co-founder of AWF and AT&T’s VP- Privacy. The event offered an invaluable glimpse into Rachel's views on networking, and she shared valuable insights from her book 'Relationships at Work: How to Authentically Network within Your Company'. The lively Q&A session further enriched the event, fostering open dialogue and interaction. Her insights helped the audience understand the importance of networking and how it can be seen as an investment for the future. Overall, the event was a tremendous success thanks to the collaborative efforts of our leaders, AWF council, AWF members, and all the people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Special thanks to Denise Cabanas for her energetic hosting, and of course, Rachel Simon for her invaluable insights. As always, we look forward to our next event and more opportunities for learning and growth.
