Learning Objective

  • To analyze the economic realities for women and why financial literacy and management are important.
  • To explain the steps towards achieving financial empowerment.
  • To identify ways to use your budget as a means of finding savings and investing opportunities.
  • To begin to build your financial puzzle towards financial empowerment.

Course Overview

Despite gains in labor participation over the last few decades, women continue to experience a gender pay gap which impacts the income stream available to save, spend, and invest at rates comparable to men. Retirement and other long-term investment goals suffer, as a result.

Unfortunately, the pandemic has reversed key trends in women-owned businesses and their labor participation rates overall. Studies continue to show that financial literacy is a cornerstone of economic stability and despite gains in other areas of life, women of all ages still report looking to someone else for assistance in understanding and guiding their finances.

There are numerous reasons that a woman might feel under-prepared to handle her finances. As we explore the economic realities for women and the pressure they exert on a woman’s long-term financial success, we also explore the gains and exciting opportunities that women now have. Women who understand the WHY and therefore can use this knowledge best are well-suited to make strides toward empowerment.

In this CPE course speaker, Ilene Slatko lays the groundwork for building comprehensive financial knowledge. We begin with the WHY, continue with a robust discussion on financial empowerment steps, and finish by exploring the initial steps to take.

Wherever you are in your understanding and mastery of your financial life, this CE/CPE finance webinar will give you the tools and knowledge to make the choices necessary to have a successful financial future.

This CPE/ CPD course encourages participants to view financial management as a critical skill. We start to build each participant’s financial puzzle, a process that will continue throughout the 8 webinar series and this is the first of them.

Key topics discussed in this course:

  • What is Financial Empowerment?
  • Rights Guaranteed Under the ECOA
  • Economic Realities
  • Essential Building Blocks of Financial Empowerment
  • Budgeting Essentials
