LANSING -- AARP Michigan, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Bankers Association will present "MI Sisters and Friends: Conversations That Count!," an opportunity for women to come together and have a conversation about their health and wealth as they emerge from the pandemic.
This free, virtual event -- a follow-up to the first AARP MI Sisters event presented a year ago -- will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday.
The program features an introductory address from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. She will be joined by five women representing Michigan in the U.S. Congress -- U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and U.S. Reps. Debbie Dingell, Brenda Lawrence, Elissa Slotkin and Rashida Tlaib -- who will share their thoughts with participants and provide a progress report on the status of women's health care and financial issues. Some will join the virtual event live, some will participate via pre-recorded video.
Speakers also include Paula Autry, CEO of Henry Ford Allegiance Health Jackson and senior vice president of Central Markets for Henry Ford; and Pamela Fuertes, executive director of Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Small Businesses Program.
This free event will be online via Zoom, and registration is required to attend. Register at aarp.cvent.com/Sisters825.
