Investing in Women for Smart Economics and Well-Being

Did you know that in Georgia, programs aimed at improving women’s financial literacy and access to capital have reduced poverty rates among women by 15% over the past five years (Georgia Budget Policy Institute)?

We are uniting business leaders and community advocates to explore the significant impact of investing in women’s financial and economic stability. Our program will concentrate on the vital role of women’s empowerment in promoting economic development and child well-being. The event will include an informative presentation, a lived experience conversation and a lively panel discussion with respected experts.
