Speaking on Business: SheMoney Summit May 30, 2024

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The inaugural SheMoney Summit is coming up soon in Downtown Salt Lake City. This experimental event will be centered on the theme: MONEY MATTERS. Local philanthropist, financier and SheMoney Founder Jacki Zehner joins us with more. Jacki Zehner: Whose signature is on over $1.3 trillion of US currency? The answer is Rosie Rios, the 43rd Treasurer of the United States, and you can have the opportunity to hear from her on June 7th at the SheMoney Summit here in Salt Lake City. She is one of 14 amazing guest speakers and workshop leaders taking the stage at our inaugural SheMoney Summit. Wondering about SheMoney? It’s a Utah-based company dedicated to supporting women+ on their journey to financial preparedness, wellness and agency. We've hosted and participated in over 35 money-centric events over the past 18 months right here in Utah— thanks in part to the support of Zions Bank and our state legislature. As we like to say, money is not optional. We all need it to survive and to thrive. And what we have heard repeatedly from the many women attending is: We need more! More guidance, education, community and hands-on learning. That’s what the SheMoney Summit is all about. Join us June 6th – 7th. Visit SheMoney.com or SheMoneySummit.com for more information. Derek Miller: The SheMoney Summit will feature a dynamic program of “money talks,” thought-provoking discussions and more. Reimagine your relationship with money and take the next steps toward greater financial health. We hope to see you there! I’m Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
