Elevating Women

KNOW YOUR WEALTH.
OWN YOUR FUTURE.

 

As life changes, so do our needs and priorities. From building a career to designing a meaningful legacy, or starting a family to navigating an empty nest or loss of a spouse, having the resources to establish new goals and make confident financial decisions is essential to make the most of life’s many chapters.

We’ve created a community where women are working together to share their knowledge and experiences. Learn from each other and experts as we navigate pivotal life moments and work to turn the vision we have for our future into action.

When we come together, the possibilities are endless.

Our community in action

“I figure I’m in the teenage years of the second half of my life. [I] just want to have fun,” said Bobbi Brown in conversation with Steph Wagner, National Director of Women and Wealth, at a recent retreat we hosted for business-owning women. Watch the full interview to hear the beauty industry icon’s inspiring perspective on aging — plus, how she distilled a lifetime of knowledge into an exciting new venture, Jones Road Beauty.

      1920s
      The Introduction of a Women’s Department
      When the 19th Amendment expanded voting rights, we opened a dedicated service center to help women as they exercised more direct control over their finances.
      1930s
      Launch of Financial Literacy Program
