ICAN

We're just three days away from the ICAN Women's Leadership Conference and we're eager to kickstart discussions! We're curious: with women’s wealth expected to outpace global wealth growth over the next several years, how confident are you in handling your future financial planning decisions? Let us know on this poll! The poll will remain open through the conference and we'll share the results live in the afternoon.

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Access Period for the 2024 ICAN Women’s Leadership Conference! Access Period is making a huge impact by combating period poverty in Nebraska, providing free menstrual products to those in need. For those joining us in person on May 15, please bring along a product donation to help support this amazing cause! Most needed items are pads, tampons, liners, menstrual cups, period underwear. No one should be held back because they lack access to basic necessities, but 2 in 5 people struggle to purchase period products due to lack of income and lack of coverage by any safety net programs. Let's see our collective power come together in support! Don’t forget, virtual registration for the 2024 ICAN Women’s Leadership Conference is available until midnight tonight! Learn more at ICANconference.com.
