International Women's Day: Challenge for Change Recap

On March 5th we gathered to celebrate International Women’s Day, discussing the challenges women face with money. Statistically, women show greater disparity in financial literacy, generational wealth management, pay, and the impact to income because of choices made between their careers and personal lives.
