Event Description

Becoming financially literate provides you with the essential foundation for a smart relationship with money.  It's a skill set benefiting both your professional trajectory and personal life, setting you up for success in a multitude of environments. 

A foundational understanding of budgeting, investing, and accessing credit will help you navigate your personal finances with confidence, leading to less stress and better overall well-being. In a business or finance career, these skills are crucial as they enable you to make informed decisions, manage resources effectively, and contribute to the growth and financial health of the organization. 

In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from leaders who are enthusiastic about promoting and advancing financial wellness and have the opportunity to engage in conversation with them about their experiences and career options. 

Light lunch will be provided.
