You are invited to share with a friend and join us for our first Virtual Viewpoints. This complimentary event series is an opportunity to engage with like-minded women and learn about the unique issues facing women, girls and their families.
This Viewpoints series will highlight the essential builders for a woman and her family’s financial stability: child care, education, health care and housing. During this series, we will bring to you research, insight from community members, and information from industry experts who will discuss these drivers of a woman’s economic security. You will hear challenges we face, and opportunities we have to move our families from surviving to thriving.
