The 2009 Money Conference for Women, co-hosted by YWCA Hartford Region and the Office of State Treasurer Denise L. Nappier, attracted over 400 participants, sponsors, volunteers, and expo vendors. 

Syndicated columnist, author and keynote speaker Michelle Singletary began the daylong event with an entertaining and informative presentation that provided answers to the financial issues that confront almost every household: how to teach children the value of money, how to address money issues in a relationship or marriage; household saving tips; getting the best loans; and much more. Throughout the rest of the day, attendees participated in educational workshops and had the opportunity to pick up free resource materials and information on local financial services in the exhibition area that help women reach financial independence and ecomomic empowerment.
