Hispanic women face unique challenges when it comes to financial security. According to recent findings, their knowledge about savings and retirement is significantly less than other groups and their retirement confidence level is less than workers overall. They are most likely to rely on Social Security for retirement and expect support from their children and family. To address this issue, the Women's Bureau is launching a program called Las Mujeres y el Dinero (Women and Money). Over the next year, the Women's Bureau will be sponsoring a series of ten financial education conferences across the country for Hispanic women. Director Chun will be speaking at the kick-off event on Thursday, October 23rd in Phoenix, Arizona at the 18th Annual National Hispanic Women's Conference. To find out more about this conference, please visit the website: http://www.hispanicwomen.org Director Shinae Chun is pleased to have such a prestigious platform to announce the start of the agency's newest initiative. This two-day conference, which will be held at the Phoenix Civic Plaza Convention Center, will bring together over 2,000 women, businesses, community leaders and public officials-the largest gathering of Latina women in the nation. The other events are as follows:
