Dear Tribe,

Please join me in congratulating Elizabeth Marner-Brooks who was recently awarded the SAVVY LADY OF THE YEAR. The Award recognizes  someone who has demonstrated significant fiscal responsibility in her own life as well as encouraging others to do the same. She must be committed to continuing financial education, which is the cornerstone of the Savvy Ladies mission.

In the words of Founder, Stacy Francis: "Elizabeth's amazing grace and dedication to Savvy Ladies is unmatched. She is a living example of our mission.  She really walks the talk."

Because of her passion and commitment to women becoming financially educated, Elizabeth was chosen to be profiled as one of Savvy Stories on the Savvy Ladies homepage.  Please see this link to her video http://www.savvyladies.org/portfolio-item/elizabeth/

Elizabeth will be at this Thursday's 4/24 High Water Women/Savvy Ladies Fundraiser, an all-star cast of financial media panelists

Savvy Ladies instills the importance of financial planning and provides women with the resources to make educated financial decisions for themselves and their families.Studies have shown that living without financial awareness leaves women particularly vulnerable, and that nearly half of all women fear losing all their money and becoming homeless.
