Let’s Get Real ... It’s Time to Talk Money, Power, and Possibility.

We get it, money can be a complicated topic. But that’s exactly why this year’s Resilient & Ready: Women Taking Charge conference is the place to be. It’s where women gather to have real conversations about finances, freedom, and the systems that have shaped our stories ...and then learn how to rewrite them. This conference isn’t just about numbers. It’s about dignity, opportunity, and power. Together, we’re building a future where women transform the system ... even when it scares them. And here’s the best part: the first 125 registrants will receive a free copy of keynote speaker Janine Rogan’s groundbreaking book, The Pink Tax. WHEN: Wednesday, NOVEMBER 12th, 8:30am - 4:00 pm WHERE: CSU, BALLROOM, Minnesota State University, Mankato Don’t wait, seats are filling fast! Register NOW Meet Our Keynote Speaker: Janine Rogan Author, CPA, and founder of The Wealth Building Academy, Janine Rogan is internationally recognized for her work on closing the gender wealth gap. Her keynote will shine a light on The Pink Tax, the hidden costs that keep women at a disadvantage ... and challenge us to dismantle financial systems that no longer serve us. You’ll leave inspired, informed, and ready to take action.
