AMIE MARKS HOSTS ‘WOMEN IN THE KNOW’ ON-GOING FORUMS FOR WOMEN TO SPEAK OPENLY ON WORLD ISSUES, CURRENT EVENTS AND TIMELY TOPICS

Three-Part
Fall Series Kicks-Off in September in Forest Park, Lake Forest and Downtown
Chicago

CHICAGO, IL (AUGUST 2013) – Amie Marks, mompreneur, Chicago
Magazine 5-star wealth manager, and registered principal and financial
advisor
with Raymond James Financial Services, is bringing Chicago area ‘Women In
The Know’ together to discuss world issues, current events and timely
topics.  Whether a stay at home mom, an
elderly well-traveled woman, a professional, or someone wanting to get back
into the workplace, Women in the Know offers an open platform for any woman to
stay current in today’s fast paced world.

“One woman may
have knowledge, strength and success…many women together can move mountains,”
says Amie Marks, identified a need for women to connect and discuss
intellectual subjects.  “As a financial
planner I meet with all types of women from stay at home moms to CEO’s of
Fortune 500 companies that have so much to learn from one another.  Women in the Know is the platform to get
these amazing people together to communicate and share perspectives on some of
life’s timely issues.”

Marks organized
Women In The Know for women to share in discussions about valuable topics in
society today. Women are welcome to participate in a genuine, non-judgmental,
and educational get-off-the-couch conversation that will inspire them to raise
questions, share opinions and speak in solutions.
