De Mujer a Mujer to Host Discussion on Finances, Seventh Annual De Mujer a Mujer Awards

From Greater Reading Chamber Alliance

De Mujer a Mujer, a special program of the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA), invites the community to a presentation titled “Finances with Confidence” on Thursday, June 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Tec Centro located at 450 S. 6th St. in Reading.

Finanta’s Michelle Leguisamon and Abigail Torres will present a practical workshop designed to help women better understand both personal and small business finances — without the confusing jargon. Attendees will learn how credit scores, cash flow, debt, and financial organization can impact their future opportunities, especially when it comes to securing funding for a business.

The evening will also include the seventh annual De Mujer a Mujer Awards, recognizing remarkable women in Berks County who exemplify leadership, community commitment, and entrepreneurial success.

Auria Bradley, Associate Vice President – Workforce & Continuing Education, Reading Area Community College (RACC), will be awarded the Community Impact Award. This award honors a woman who has made a lasting impact through her dedication to service and leadership, and a woman who has demonstrated leadership and commitment to the community.

Jennasea Rodriguez, RACC student and youth development professional at Olivet Boys & Girls Club, will be given the Young Changemaker Award. This award highlights a promising young woman who is already making a difference and shows great potential to lead, and a young woman, ages 18 to 25, showing strong leadership and community dedication with high potential to be a future leader in Berks County.

Katy Ogando-Canseco, CEO & Co-Owner, Disc Center of Reading, will receive the Small Business Owner Award, which recognizes a dynamic entrepreneur who is making waves through both business success and community involvement, and a woman business owner thriving in and engaging with the Berks County community.

Interpretation services will be provided through a partnership with Our Konnection.

Registration is required. Tickets are $25.00 for GRCA members and $30.00 for future GRCA members.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
