ywca program highlight
money conference for women
YWCA's Money Conference for Women has been giving women of all ages and backgrounds the power to prosper for ten years. Each year, over 400 people participated in this FREE event and leave feeling empowered to take charge of their finances.
The Money Conference for Women is designed to address the unique financial challenges women face in their work and personal lives. Women still earn less than men working in the same job. The gap between income levels for women of color is even greater. Wage disparities in life increase a woman's likelihood that she will suffer financial insecurity and live in poverty during her later years. The Money Conference for Women is just one example of how YWCA helps women manage their financial well-being.
This year the Money Conference for Women celebrated its 10th anniversary. Michelle Singletary, author and columnist, was the keynote speaker and taught us all to appreciate what we have and reminded us that we are all rich. Attendees also participated in individual workshops on various topics including credit and debt, homeownership, planning for retirement and investing. An expo of financial services was also available.
Hear what one participant had to say...
Your role as Table Captain helps support the Money Conference for Women and other YWCA programs and services. YWCA can't do it alone. YOU make it happen. |
