Celebrating YOU Women’s Conference & Expo (CYWC)

Dr. Nikia Owens, President & CEO of  Campaign for Working Families, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit, will discuss how individuals and families can achieve economic empowerment and financial mobility as a “Spotlight Speaker” at the 10^th annual Celebrating YOU Women’s Conference & Expo (CYWC) in Center City Philadelphia. Dr. Owens will focus on how working low-to-moderate-income families and individuals learn the tools to achieve economic empowerment and financial mobility. She will provide information on how communities can advance through tax-assistance programs like the Earned Income Tax Credit, which has secured millions of once-unclaimed dollars in tax credits, and been an effective poverty-busting program in cities, small and large. Dr. Owens also will be part of a podcast about financial education and available tax credit programs on a day that shines a light on women’s achievements, empowerment, education, and networking. The conference theme is “Press Forward,” reflecting the spirit of women’s resilience and determination. In just a few years, Dr. Owens has emerged as a respected champion of money-saving financial programs and has widely promoted the value of annual tax credits, especially in grossly underserved communities. Campaign for Working Families serves Southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey. At the conference, hear from business leaders, authors, and filmmakers making a difference including acclaimed motivational business speaker Les Brown. Check out workshops about health & wellness, business, career development, volunteerism, the transition back to school, and entertainment.
