2026-01-27 12:15 - 13:30 | CA
Join Us on Dec. 16 for a Fascinating Look Into the World of Fiduciaries
What exactly does a fiduciary do—and why does it matter for families, aging adults, and anyone planning ahead?
At our Coastal Encinitas Rotary lunch meeting on Tuesday, December 16 at 12:15 p.m. at Cicciotti’s Cardiff, guest speaker Christine R. Sacca will present:
“Demystifying the Fiduciary: Ethics, Trust, and Healthcare Advocacy.”
Christine will break down how fiduciaries support clients in navigating financial decisions, healthcare choices, and end-of-life planning with clarity and compassion.
If you’ve ever wondered how fiduciaries protect individuals and families—or how this role fits into today’s complex healthcare and legal landscape—this is a conversation you don’t want to want to miss.
