Join us for InFocus Financial Advisors Saavy Social Security Workshop.

If there is one thing many people can agree on it is not Social Security.
“Claim as soon as you can, you might not live long enough to spend it.”
“Wait it out and claim later so you can get the higher pay out, get your money back from Uncle Sam.”
When and how to claim Social Security is far more individually specific than many people realize. This presentation covers some of the specifics behind Social Security that can help someone decide how best to claim for their own unique situation.

Join us March 15 at 12 p.m. during our General Membership Luncheon featuring speaker, retiring UMES President Dr. Juliette Bell.

Bell is the University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s 15th leader since its founding in 1886, and the fourth woman to hold the post. Bell is a biochemist who grew up in rural Alabama 50 miles east of Birmingham, the state’s largest city.

She graduated valedictorian of her class, earning a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Talladega (Ala.) College. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry with a biochemistry concentration from Atlanta University and did postdoctoral work in biochemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Following her post-doctoral fellowship, she worked as a senior staff fellow and research biologist at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, N.C.

Bell made full professor at Fayetteville State in 1998, directed its Biomedical Research Program (1993-2006) and established the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (2002-2006) program. She was founding dean of the university’s College of Basic and Applied Sciences from 2004 to 2006 and provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs from 2006-2008.

In August 2009, Bell was named chief academic officer at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, a historically black institution with an enrollment of 2,500 students.

Bell has served on the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Advisory Board and as a consultant to the American Association of Colleges and Universities. Among her honors: the 2001 National Role Model Citation from Minority Access, Inc. and the 2000 Millennium Award for Excellence in Teaching in Mathematics, Science, Engineering and Technology at Historically Black Colleges from the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
