                        Nearly 6 in 10 women workers reported concern for their financial health, especially since the start of the pandemic, according to a poll conducted by MetLife. The pandemic has set back the slow growth of women's progress in the workplace and childcare is a key factor.

                        Please join us and hear from Aideen Gaidmore, Executive Director with the Marin Child Care Council, as she discusses the intricate infrastructure of childcare and why all of us must recognize that it’s essential for parents and employers.

                        And, come away with the building blocks you need to become financially secure from our expert panel at Redwood Credit Union, as they discuss:  
                        1) Building blocks of personal finance (budgeting/emergency savings)
                        2) Money management and savings for the developing professional
                        3) Investments and retirement savings
