Women and Money 2008 & Florida women have the unique opportunity to learn how to better manage their finances at Women and Money 2008 and Florida Women Mean Business!, two FREE seminar series presented by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women. Women and Money 2008 focuses on money
management, budgets and credit, retirement and investment strategies, and
estate planning.
Florida Women Mean Business! According to the Center for Women’s Business Research, there are an estimated 716,209 privately-held, 50% or more women-owned, firms in Florida, accounting for more than 48% of all privately held firms in the state. Women-owned firms in Florida currently generate more than $152 billion in sales and employ more than one million people in our state. It is estimated that between 1997 and 2004, the number of women-owned firms in Florida increased by 36.5%, their employment grew by 34.7% and realized a 63% increase in sales. That is why the Florida Commission on the Status of Women has created Florida Women Mean Business! seminars, to help Florida women successfully start and grow their businesses. Florida Women Mean Business! will provide important information, inspirational stories, and resources that are available to help women become successful entrepreneurs. Women and Money 2008 The Florida Commission on the Status of Women is
pleased to sponsor Women and Money 2008: Purses to Portfolios. Statistics show that most women will be responsible
for managing their own finances at some time in their lives, but most are not
prepared with the knowledge and skills to do so. That is why the Commission has
teamed up with numerous partners to create this valuable resource for the women
of Florida. These conferences will be held in several cities throughout the state
in the coming months, and will give women the opportunity to learn from national
and local financial experts, and the ability secure their financial futures.
