IMPORTANT COVID PRECAUTIONS: As of January 15, 2021, Mount Vernon Canyon Club received certification in Jefferson County’s 5-Star Program, the best level possible. Recent upgrades include the replacement of all air filters with the MERV 13 filters, the best industry standard for removing more airborne particulate matter than any other filter. Mount Vernon continues to follow all CDC recommended guidelines to ensure a safe environment. The size of Page’s luncheon seminars is limited to ensure comfortable spacing between participants, and adequate time to discuss each project. Servers will be wearing face masks, and food will be served plated rather than buffet-style. Hand sanitizer will be provided. All guests are asked to wear face masks when not seated.

Page’s speaking style is intimate, an up-close emotional experience with the audience. Whether speaking about the 12-month trip around the world she took as a teenager, rearing her son and daughter on a small ranch in Wyoming, how her father gave birth to the financial planning industry, the month she spent alone in a remote mountain cabin, or floating down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, she will invite you inside both her joy and sorrow. Here are a few of her favorite speaking topics:
