Be confident. Be empowered. Take action on your financial future.

Women’s financial confidence is on the rise – and we should celebrate that progress. But there’s still more to do…a lack of financial knowledge, especially around investing activities, could be holding women back from reaching their full financial potential. Join us for this panel discussion as we explore the research Bank of America conducted on women and financial wellness: Women, Money, Confidence: A Lifelong Relationship.

Leave the room feeling more confident about managing day-to-day finances, understand what the research revealed, learn what women can take on their path to financial independence, and be empowered to take action.

Following the program, chat more with our panel and network with other female professionals to build a stronger community!
