100 Voices for Equity: A Big Table Conversation

ATTENTION: This event is now full to capacity!

Closing the Gender and Racial Wealth Gap

The gender and racial wealth gap plays a fundamental role in affecting all women’s potential for economic empowerment and leadership, and has intergenerational economic impacts on the lives of girls and women. Closing the gap is integral to women’s economic security, good health, and civic and political engagement.

Join 100 community members on August 28th for a Big Table conversation on the gender and racial wealth gap in central Ohio. Aligned with The Columbus Foundation’s Big Table, and based on findings from the Assets for Equity: Building  Wealth for Women in Central Ohio report commissioned by The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, this event will feature ten small group discussions, each one with a unique focus on topics related to the gender and racial wealth gap.

Learn about the gender and racial wealth gap and why it matters, share your voice and story, build connections with each other, learn about the partner organizations and the work they are doing, and find out how you can get involved.

NOTE: While the registration form on the YWCA website at The "More Information/Learn more" link to the left lists many locations, only the YWCA-hosted conversation will focus on the Women's Fund report and the gender and racial wealth gap in central Ohio topic. Conversations at other locations listed on the registration form will focus on different topics.
