Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow: Plan Now for Your Financial Future

Whether you're single or married, a business professional or a stay-at-home mom, in your 20s or your 60s; your financial well-being is vitally important to your quality of life. Yet, as women, we face particular challenges to secure financial futures.

The Maine Women's Fund is educating and engaging women in a five part seminar series designed to help women gain the information and confidence to make smart financial choices throughout their lives. We are committed to bringing common-sense advice that can help women overcome personal, professional and financial challenges by taking control of their finances now -- and planning for the future they envision.

All events are free and open to the public.
