Ever wonder what it takes to build real wealth?

Come join us for an in-depth conversation on money, finances, and how to build your financial future on 1 June at Wright Hall, ANU in Canberra.

This event aims to continue the conversation from this year's International Women's Day theme of Invest in women: Accelerate progress. Investing in women is a human rights imperative and cornerstone for building inclusive societies. Progress for women benefits us all.

The United Nations (UN) Women Canberra Chapter has invited three local financial experts to share their knowledge and wisdom to help you define and achieve your financial goals.

Brigitta Hembrow-Gersey, Senior Financial Advisor with Hussey Financial Planning
