Due to exciting growth in our educational programming, the Foundation for Women’s Financial Education is putting The Upstate Women in Finance Event on hiatus for 2020. We plan to host the event in 2021 and will keep our website current with details for next year’s event.
The Foundation for Women’s Financial Education is a not-for-profit organization operated solely by volunteers who dedicate their time and talent. Our mission is to provide unbiased financial education to empower women in the Greater Rochester area. In addition to offering financial literacy seminars throughout the year, we are proud to announce that we have been approved to provide retirement-ready classes within the Financial Literacy Center at the Monroe County Library System. This initiative will require the resources of our volunteers to implement and execute—limiting our ability to orchestrate the Upstate Women in Finance event with the educational and networking experience you have come to know and expect.
Please check back for more information on the 2021 Upstate Women in Finance Event. If you would like to help us promote our mission by volunteering, please contact us for more information.
