EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – JODI MASLANKA
As a Financial Planner in Chicago, Jodi wrote in her business plan, “At the end of the day, I want to feel like I helped someone.” When a friend asked what happens to her son if something happens to her, Jodi had no idea. Together they set up a Special Needs Trust and funded it with life insurance. At the end of the day, Jodi’s friend was so grateful and Jodi felt like she had helped someone. She became a Special Care Planner. Jodi now lives in Indianapolis. She no longer works as a Special Care Planner but continues to find ways to help families with disabilities. Buttermilk Mountain is her contribution to the special needs community.
