YWCA Financial Education Conference Draws 700 Women

More than 700 women from throughout the Merrimack Valley and the North Shore recently attended the YWCA’s Money Conference for Women, hosted in Andover by honorary chair State Treasurer Shannon O’Brien. The daylong conference focused on money management strategies for women of all ages, economic levels and financial knowledge.

The Conference featured recognized leaders in the financial services industry who offered practical advice and tools to help participants design and implement a personal savings strategy. Dee Lee, a national columnist and author of Let’s Talk Money, led an interactive workshop that provided an introduction to personal finances.

Women also attended two separate workshops of their choice and had the opportunity to meet privately with a financial planner.

Alexine Clement Jackson, President of the YWCA of the USA, discussed women’s economic empowerment, women in philanthropy and the important work YWCAs around the country and around the world are doing to help women empower themselves and their families for financial independence and economic security.

More conferences are scheduled throughout Massachusetts. For more information, visit www.moneyconferenceforwomen.org.
