The 3rd Annual Women and Wealth Conference: Get it, Grow it, Keep it!
Traditionally women have relied on their spouses or other family members to handle money matters. Unfortunately, women who find themselves facing financial responsibilities alone are increasing in number. Through knowledge and awareness women will be able to get it, grow it and most assuredly keep it.
This all day workshop will provide the tools needed to: increase women's understanding of their relationship with money; grasp financial planning concepts and develop a financial plan; how to create wealth, build it and keep it; and how to build for retirement and beyond.
