I’ll be in Sacramento, California on September 26, 2009, speaking at the Money Wi$e Women Conference. I hope you’ll join me!
While I’ll enjoy the chance to speak about credit reports and scores, what I am really looking forward to is the opportunity to learn from some of my favorite money-wise women. Two of the keynote speakers are women I truly admire, and both are phenomenal speakers and teachers:
- Marcia Brixey is the conference organizer and the author of The Money Therapist: A Woman’s Guide to Creating a Healthy Financial Life. She will talk about “Five Steps to Create a Healthy Financial Life.”
- Mikelann Valterra, director of the Women’s Earning Institute and author of Why Women Earn Less: How to Make What You’re Really Worth will be explaining how to “Earn at Your Potential: Embracing the Seven Challenges.”
I haven’t met the third keynote speaker, Sandra Smith, author of Get What You Really Want Without the Guilt, but I have a feeling I won’t be disappointed.
In addition to the keynote sessions, attendees get to choose three breakout sessions:
- Building a Financially Healthy Business – Stacey Powell, Powell & Associates
- Protecting Your Family: Wills & Estate Planning – Tracy Potts, Attorney at Law
- Women & Investing –Rashida Lilani, Lilani Wealth Management
- Building Your Financial Future – Cindy Fuzie, MassMutual Financial Group
- Revisit Your Career – Panel hosted by Prudential Financial
- Financial & Emotional Freedom – Anita Renee Johnson
- Goal Setting for Prosperity – Roberta Pickett, R G Pickett Coaching
- Being Frugal Is Fabulous – Nicole Morton
- Second Bloom: 10 Steps to Reinvent, Rejuvenate & Realize a New Life– Michelle Gamble-Risley
- How to Build and Keep Great Credit – yours truly, Gerri Detweiler, Credit.com
- Organizing Your Financial Records – Jessica Chapman, Room to Breathe
(I wish I could attend each one… but at least I’ll get to sit in on two. I just haven’t decided which!)
