March 21, Tuesday 6:00 to 8:00 pm, Holley Lecture Hall A, B, C. The Financially Savvy Women - Panel Session. Women are controlling ever-increasing amounts of the wealth in the United States.

In addition, women of younger generations (Gen X, Y, and Z) feel more knowledgeable about - and enjoy - investing more than women of the Millennial and Boomer generations. The financial services industry has not kept up with the unique needs of women.

• The financial issues that are most important to women
• The ways women approach their personal finances differently than men, and
• How female financial professionals help other women become financially savvy
