Community Program… Wealth Building Through Business Ownership

Join us for an afternoon that expands the conversation around business ownership.

This program is presented in collaboration with Chicago Booth: Milwaukee alumni, bringing experience, perspective, and connection to the conversation.

Together, we are creating an opportunity for participants to learn from one another, build relationships, and leave with ideas they can carry forward.

This afternoon is for…

• People curious about how business ownership can be a path to building wealth.
• Those actively searching for a business to buy/acquire.
• Current owners thinking about growth and the exit/sale.
• Advisors, lenders, and community leaders who are committed to helping women become owners and successful operators.

Registration required; see below. Net proceeds with benefit the Women’s Fund.
