Women, wealth & well-being
February 13th, 2024
Join SWE Columbia River and FirstTech Credit Union for a financial session aimed toward women to start the New Year with a good financial mindset!
There is no denying that women are earning and controlling more wealth than ever before and have become powerful influencers in household investment and financial decisions. However, according to a recent New York Life Investments survey, over 40% of women investors lack confidence in their knowledge of the market, and 29% lack confidence in their ability to make decisions between investment options.
Join this presentation and help us make those statistics a thing of the past. Our special guest presenter, Kimberlee Bouska, will share introductory concepts to help women become more empowered with their finances. She will also share how to take these concepts and apply them to set and define your financial goals for you and your family.
Join to learn:
How women can take ownership of their financial well-being
Saving and investing strategies specifically for women
Steps to developing healthy financial habits
