Women with Vision
Your Money, Your Voice:
How Policy affects Your Wealth
Money is not neutral. Policy shapes access, opportunity, protection, and long-term wealth - often long before we feel the impact personally. This gathering is for women who want to understand the forces influencing their financial lives and who believe that clarity is the foundation of agency, leadership, and legacy.
