Conference focuses on Latinas and money
Conference from Page 1
Tyler School of Art’s M.F.A. exhibition series runs at Temple Gallery through May 22.
Shows change weekly. Today through March 27, Beverly Fisher, an M.F.A. candidate in
ceramics, displays her work in porcelain, “Intimate Terrain” (shown above). Fisher’s
opening reception is Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. M.F.A. candidate Eoin Breadon’s
works in glass also are on display this week. See “Exhibits” for more information.
By targeting low-earning Latinas as
well as professional women, conference
organizers hope to empower the working
poor, a large portion of the Latino population. According to the federal government’s
Current Population Survey in 1998, Latino
homes have the lowest median income of
any ethnic group in the United States, and
more than a third rely on government
funds.
The comprehensive daylong conference
includes sessions on budgeting, entrepreneurship, saving for homeownership, securing resources for low-income families, and
investment and financial planning. Sessions
are centered around three tracks: Getting
Started/The Basics; Making Your Money
Work for You; and The Future is Here:
Elderly Living.
“It’s a great conference because it’s targeted to a range of females—from the lowincome to the elderly to the professionals,”
said Maria Ramos, a CSPCD training spe-
cialist who helped organize the event.
“This is something the Latino community
desperately needs. This conference is
unique because it’s specific to Latina
women, yet it’s inclusive at the same time
because it’s aimed to a range of women.”
Temple’s installment of Las Mujeres y
el Dinero is one of 10 DOL discussions
aimed at Latinas across the country this
year. Conference planners are inviting Latinas throughout the Northeast to Temple for
the free workshops, some of which will be
conducted in both English and Spanish.
Ramos stressed that while the conference emphasizes financial planning for
Latinas, men and women of all ethnicities
are invited to attend.
