MNA Members
Welcome MNA Members! We are proud to be one of the most appreciated member benefits sponsored by the union. The mission of the program is to help MNA members improve their overall financial well-being and increase the security of their financial future by providing access to a comprehensive source of independent, objective financial advice and planning.
Dorval & Chorne Financial Advisors has been working with MNA nurses for over 20 years, addressing the unique financial needs and concerns of the members through seminars, white papers and one-on-one consultations. Dorval & Chorne has been an innovator in promoting and expanding the delivery of independent, objective financial advice to individuals and families without regard to their incomes or net worth. Their signature accomplishment has been the development of unique group financial advisory programs which have successfully expanded access to independent financial information, planning, and advice for thousands of people. The MNA Financial Wellness program is an evolution of the group advisory concept providing MNA members with greater access to independent and objective financial advice.
What you can expect from us:
Under the MNA Financial Wellness Program, MNA members will have access to the following benefits:
- Access to independent, objective advice and information from advisors experienced in working with MNA for more than a decade. Dorval & Chorne understands the unique financial opportunities and challenges of MNA nurses.
- Guidance on your employer sponsored retirement plan (401(k), 403(b), etc.) along with a better understanding of how it fits into your overall plan.
- How to incorporate the MNA Twin Cities pension into your retirement planning and maximize this very important benefit based on your unique circumstances.
- For members who want to create a comprehensive guide for their financial future, Dorval & Chorne will design a plan to direct the decision making process in working toward accomplishing each member’s unique personal goals – program planning is modeled on the Certified Financial Planner™ Process (see below for details). A separate agreement will be required for each member that goes through the financial planning process but there will be no planning fee for nurses who decide to utilize this valuable service.
