Hello all,
As women, we have learned that great things do not come easy. It took 70 years for white women to achieve the right to vote, and even longer for Native American, Asian American, and African American women. The tenacity women demonstrated a century ago has paved the way for so many other significant achievements—including sitting in board rooms, going to outer space, and serving as leaders in government.
Yet we still have so much more to accomplish. Some of you can be proud of becoming “firsts” yourselves, and so many of you still have the opportunity. Let’s get going!
One of my proud achievements is to have been named the first African American president of the Financial Women of San Francisco. Thank you for this opportunity to make women’s “herstory” right now in 2020.
The event is free. However, we would welcome donations to the scholarship fund, to maintain our support for the next generation of women.
Again, I hope you will register for one of the events. We would love to have you.
Thank you,
Olivia Barbee
President, FWSF
