Empowering Women for Financial Freedom

BN360 Money Matters photo.png

Just about 50 years ago, a woman’s financial identity was tied explicitly to someone else. Today, women make up about half of the American workforce, yet women are still less likely than men to put together a financial plan.

Join BN360 and hear from the dynamic Stella Fey about:

  • How small changes now can add up to big results later
  • How to have a better understanding of your current financial situation and future needs
  • Tools for making informed financial decisions moving forward

This will be held on Wednesday, March 11 from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. at Alliance Advisory Group located at 600 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY 14202.

To register: click here.

Ticket Info: Free for BN360 members, and $25 for non-members.

For many AJCU institutions, the month of February has become synonymous with movement, and this year was no exception. Faculty and staff from 26 Jesuit institutions committed to tracking every minute of their physical activity for the past 29 days, and the collective numbers are impressive:

Participating AJCU institutions 27
Total Participants 4111
Total Minutes of Movement: 3,713,149
