The power of ‘cha ching’
Monmouth College board chair to provide financial advice to Class of 2016
Monmouth College Board of Trustees chair Bill Goldsborough ’65 will present “Auditing 101: Cha Ching,” a seminar geared toward Monmouth’s seniors.
Many Monmouth College seniors have already received the good news that they have full-time employment secured after their May 15 graduation. And on April 20 they will learn how to manage their money “before it manages them.”
That will be the message they will hear from Monmouth College Board of Trustees chair Bill Goldsborough ’65.
Goldsborough, who enjoyed a career as a successful investment manager, will speak about “Auditing 101: Cha Ching,” a seminar geared toward Monmouth’s seniors. He will speak at 7 p.m. April 20 in Room 276 of the Center for Science and Business. Goldsborough’s talk is sponsored by the College’s Wackerle Career and Leadership Center.
Goldsborough – who worked for Lincoln Capital Management from 1977 to 2001, retiring as vice president – said he will advise students on how to become financially independent through smart money management.
Among the topics he will address are why stocks are the best option for investments and why “individual investors do really poorly.” He will also discuss the “three E’s” that factor into managing money – “ego, expense and emotions.”
“That will provide some insight on why we act the way we do with regard to money, often against our own self-interest,” Goldsborough said. “I want to help the seniors manage their money, before it manages them.”
Before joining Lincoln Capital Management, Goldsborough was an investment officer at Harris Bank for eight years, and he also taught economics and business administration at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse for three years. Goldsborough holds an MBA from the University of Chicago.
“I enjoy putting these types of presentations together,” he said. “I was on a college faculty for three years, so those talks always take me back to that time. I’m really looking forward to coming to speak to the seniors.”
