Planning Your Future

For many animation professionals, financial planning can be difficult. The nature of our business, the difficulties of working and living job-to-job, and the uncertainties of layoffs and not knowing where and when your next job will happen, can leave us without a plan for financial stability.

At our next membership on May 28, Business Representative STEVE HULETT will host a panel featuring two financial advisors discussing the ins and outs of financial planning for the animation professional.


TIM CRONIN and TIM METCALF are Senior Vice Presidents and Investment Advisors for Wells Fargo Advisors, based in Orange County.

Cronin helps clients build, manage, protect, and transition their wealth — not only Investments but credit and debt, risk management, insurance, trust and fiduciary services. He believes in listening carefully and understanding his client’s needs, analyzing, crafting and implementing a plan and then monitoring, evaluating and making adjustments as needed.

Metcalf graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Finance. He strives to help each one of his clients plan for a financial future in a way that best meets their goals, whether planning for a comfortable retirement or looking for a comprehensive diversification strategy that maximizes potential for growth while adjusting for the appropriate level of risk as your needs change over time.

Come listen to these experts talk about how to plan for a sound financial future. And feel free to ask them questions. It is, after all, your retirement that you want to get right

The meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 28 starting at 7:00 pm, at the Animation Guild, 1105 N. Hollywood Way (between Chandler and Magnolia) in Burbank. Before the meeting, pizza and refreshments will be served at 6:30 pm. The meeting is free of charge and all members, active or inactive, are encouraged to attend. Parking is available on the premises or on Hollywood Way.
