Women & Wealth: Strategies to Thrive in Tough Economic Times

My dream is that 5 years from now women's organizations in Oklahoma will be working together to host programs like the one below that is taking place today in San Diego, California.

Women face unique challenges when it comes to financial security. To address this issue, join the California Women's Legislative Caucus, the California Commission on the Status of Women, the California Women's Agenda and the New America Foundation's Asset Building Program for a lunchtime discussion on how financial empowerment strategies can create asset ownership and savings opportunities for women throughout California who aspire to be financially secure.

Last Wednesday, I attended an excellent event in Muskogee - the Women's Leadership Conference. It had lots of corporate underwriters but was hosted by one entity - the Muskogee Chamber of Commerce. I want to see events like that one co-hosted by a number of women's organizations and open to the public. Maybe there are some planned for Oklahoma women; if so, please let me know the details and I'll advertise it. I know plenty of women who'd love to attend!
