WHAT IS SWSM?
The purpose of SWSM is to empower, encourage and inspire women to take control of their finances as early in life as possible. SWSM does this by providing speakers, most of whom are women, who can provide practical advice and real-life examples of how women can budget, save and invest wisely. The conferences are free for all participants.
