Financial Health & Mental Wealth

Where Financial Confidence Meets Personal Wellbeing


A Gateway Bank Community Event Series


Event Two in the Series -  Summer Event


July 22, 2026


Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. – Miracle Mile


3:30 pm - 6:00 pm 


About This Event


The second event in the Financial Health & Mental Wealth series brings together leaders in business, financial leadership, and community wellness to continue the conversation around how financial confidence directly impacts mental wellbeing, workplace culture, and long-term success.

This summer gathering will focus on practical leadership insights, financial empowerment, and the connection between mental wellness across different generations in today’s workforce and communities.

Attendees can expect meaningful conversations, actionable takeaways, and opportunities to connect with professionals and leaders who are passionate about building healthier people, stronger workplaces, and thriving communities.


Featured Speakers


Sentari Minor 


Sentari will share in the conversation to explore the evolving relationship between mental wellness and generational perspectives in today’s workforce and communities.


Kelsey Bobian 


Kelsey will share insights around leadership, growth strategy, and financial leadership -  including how financial confidence and economic understanding contribute to stronger decision-making, workplace culture, and long-term success.


Why This Conversation Matters


Financial stress is one of the leading contributors to anxiety, burnout, and disengagement -  both personally and professionally.

When individuals feel overwhelmed by financial uncertainty, it often impacts sleep, relationships, focus, productivity, and overall mental wellbeing. At the same time, financial confidence can create greater clarity, stability, resilience, and peace of mind.

This series was created to bridge the conversation between financial health and mental wealth by bringing together leaders from finance, business, education, and community development to share practical tools, insights, and resources that help individuals and organizations thrive.


Who Should Attend


This event is designed for:

  • Business leaders and executives
  • HR and people-focused professionals
  • Educators and community leaders
  • Entrepreneurs and professionals
  • Individuals interested in financial wellness and mental wellbeing
  • Anyone looking to grow personally, professionally, and financially

Inclusion and Accessibility -

Stop Talking and Start Changing

Mon, Jul 17, 2023 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM MST

We know there are several reasons why companies should focus on inclusion and accessibility when it comes to their company culture. What matters more is actually taking the step toward action. It is time to start implementing ways to improve inclusion and accessibility in the workplace. But how? We will have an interactive panel with community leaders to help share ways to improve your inclusion and accessibility focus in the workplace.


This event will be on a whole other level though! We will have food, drinks, connecting, speakers, and a few other surprises up our sleeves. We will also be doing all of this in the middle of the beautiful cellar near the AZ wilderness Gilbert location.
