Smart Women Smart Money Conference OCT 15  8:00 AM - 3:30 PM (Central)

I will be attending this event as an exhibitor with my friend and downline member, Rosario Corral.  I would love to see you there!

State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias will host a financial literacy conference for women in the Chicago area on Thursday, October 15 at the UIC Forum, 725 W. Roosevelt Road in Chicago. The theme for the 2009 Smart Women Smart Money conferences is “From Surviving to Thriving.”

McDonald’s USA Executive Vice President Jan Fields will be the opening speaker, sharing what she has learned during her 30-year ascent from fast food crew member in Dayton, Ohio, to the first woman Chief Operating Officer at McDonald’s USA.

The luncheon speaker will be Dr. Tahira Hira, a consumer finance professor and executive assistant to the president of Iowa State University. During the breakout sessions, Shundrawn Thomas, senior vice president at Northern Trust, will be back by popular demand to present an update on the economy. Other morning sessions will cover such topics as stretching your dollars, financial planning, education and changing careers, investments, and going back to school and making career changes.

In addition to a full schedule of morning breakout sessions, this year’s Smart Women Smart Money conference is being expanded into the afternoon so that those who can stay can learn even more about how to manage their money wisely -- from understanding your credit scores to avoiding financial scams, and using the computer as a financial tool.

Smart Women Smart Money conferences, now in their ninth year, present a unique opportunity for women to learn about current financial issues, network with other women, and showcase their businesses and organizations. The SWSM conference is presented by Dollars and Sense Inc., a nonprofit organization.

Certified Illinois teachers may earn one (1) CPDU for attending.

Check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m., and the Smart Women Smart Money conference will follow from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. The conference is free but pre-registration is required. Register online at www.treasurer.il.gov under the Smart Women Smart Money link.
