A Fireside Investment Conversation for Executive Women
As women rise into senior leadership, money begins to feel different. The decisions carry more weight. The timelines extend further. And the responsibility reaches beyond our roles and careers.
This fireside gathering brings C-Sweet women together for a thoughtful conversation about wealth, investing, and legacy — grounded in leadership, clarity, and long-term vision. We’ll explore how financial decisions evolve as influence grows, how wealth can create flexibility and peace of mind, and how legacy is shaped through the choices we make today.
This evening is designed for women who are already leading and want their financial strategy to reflect the level at which they operate — clear, grounded, and forward-looking.
You’ll leave feeling more informed, more confident, and more connected to what’s possible for you, your family, and the impact you are building.
Complimentary for C-Sweet members. Non-member tickets - $89.
