SUMMARY:Women In Wealth
DESCRIPTION:Register here: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-in-wealth-tickets-2000660707031?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWOMEN” target=”_blank” title=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-in-wealth-tickets-2000660707031?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWOMEN”>https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-in-wealth-tickets-2000660707031?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWOMEN IN WEALTH SERIES Venture Capital | Business Acquisition | AI InnovationWOMEN IN WEALTH SERIES THE CAPITAL CONVERSATION Banking | Capital Access | Acquisition | Exit Strategy Featuring Bank of AmericaEvent Overview How does capital actually move? For the final seminar of Alpha Woman Association’s Women in Wealth Series\, we’re bringing banking\, business acquisition\, investment\, lending\, and exit strategy into one executive-level conversation. Featuring representatives from Bank of America\, alongside M&A and investment expertise\, this seminar explores the financial infrastructure behind building\, buying\, growing\, and eventually exiting a business. BUILD • FUND • BUY • GROW • EXIT From preparing for financing to acquiring a company\, investing capital\, scaling an enterprise\, or planning an eventual exit\, understanding how money moves can change how you approach wealth. And one relationship is often overlooked:  \nKnow your banker before you need your <a href="http://banker.What” target=”_blank” title=”banker.What”>banker.What does a bank actually look for before lending?When should an entrepreneur begin building a banking relationship?How can debt be used strategically to acquire or grow an asset?And as your business grows\, how should your banking and capital strategy grow with it? \nThis conversation takes attendees beyond simply making money and into understanding the relationships\, financial readiness\, and capital structures behind building long-term wealth. ModeratorShavée HoFounder & Chair\, Alpha Woman AssociationShavée Ho leads Alpha Woman Association (AWA)\, a economic development nonprofit organization\, advancing women through education\, funding pathways\, and strategic partnerships. With over 15 years in branding\, marketing\, an education\, she builds platforms that connect leaders\, investors\, and institutions to drive measurable economic impact. Through the Women in Wealth Series\, Shavée is helping make conversations around capital\, ownership\, investment\, and economic opportunity more accessible to women while creating direct proximity to the professionals and institutions operating within those ecosystems. Featured Expert Lenny Saizan\, MBAM&A Advisor | Venture Capital Fund ManagerManaging Director\, Urban Capital NetworkCEO\, Murphy Business – West HoustonLenny Saizan advises business owners on growth\, acquisitions\, exits\, and reinvestment strategy. As founder of the Legacy Maximizer System™\, he integrates M&A advisory\, private investing\, and wealth structuring to help entrepreneurs maximize enterprise value and build generational wealth. For The Capital Conversation\, Lenny brings the perspective of both sides of ownership: what it takes to acquire a business and what it takes to build one worth acquiring. He’ll help connect acquisition strategy\, business valuation\, capital structure\, investor readiness\, and exit planning — including how decisions made while building a company can ultimately affect its value when it is time to sell. Featured Financial InstitutionBANK OF AMERICAInside the Bank: What Happens Before the Yes? One of the most valuable relationships an entrepreneur can build may begin long before they ever apply for a loan. Representatives from Bank of America will take attendees inside the banking side of the capital conversation — exploring what financial institutions consider when evaluating businesses\, borrowers\, growth opportunities\, and requests for capital. The discussion will explore: • What makes a business bankable • What bankers evaluate before extending capital • Business loans\, lines of credit\, and financing options • Using financing in business acquisition and expansion • Financial preparation before seeking capital • Building a banking relationship before you need funding • How banking needs change as businesses and assets grow • The role of banking relationships throughout acquisition\, growth\, investment\, and exit The goal is not simply to understand what financial products exist. It is to better understand how to position yourself to use them strategically. Because your first conversation with your banker shouldn’t happen when you urgently need the money. What You’ll Gain BANKING RELATIONSHIPS Understand why building the relationship before you need capital matters. CAPITAL ACCESS Explore lending\, lines of credit\, acquisition financing\, and other capital pathways. ACQUISITION & GROWTH Understand how capital can be strategically used to buy\, build\, and scale. DEBT vs. EQUITY Explore how entrepreneurs evaluate borrowing\, outside investment\, and ownership. BUSINESS VALUE Learn how financial decisions made today can affect the value and marketability of a company tomorrow. EXIT STRATEGY Explore what entrepreneurs should consider financially before transitioning or selling a business. Who Should Attend Entrepreneurs • Founders • Executives • Professionals • Business Owners • Emerging Investors This conversation is designed for women who are ready to move beyond simply earning income and begin thinking more strategically about capital\, ownership\, leverage\, and long-term wealth. Presented By ALPHA WOMAN ASSOCIATION Alpha Woman Association advances women’s economic growth through education\, funding pathways\, strategic partnerships\, and access to opportunity. Women in Wealth creates proximity between women and the people\, institutions\, information\, and opportunities shaping today’s capital economy.

Connection. meetup — a HUMAN-centered space to step away from the grind and into community with fellow impact-driven founders. \nBetween the pitches\, the pivots\, and the pressure to always have it together\, it’s easy to forget that the most valuable resource we have is each other. That’s why we created Community. Connection. — a judgment-free zone that reminds you community isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential.

Celebrating a breakthrough? Navigating uncertainty? Feeling stuck or burned out? All of it is welcome here. Just bring your authentic self and a willingness to listen\, share\, and be present with others who understand the unique challenges and rewards of building something meaningful. \nCommunity. Connection. Show up\, share out\, and shine on! \n\n\n\nThis session will be facilitated by IHH Team + Community Member Tracie Jae\, The Quiet Rebel.

SUMMARY:BakerRipley Ambassador Program
DESCRIPTION:You are already making a difference in your community. Let us help you make an even greater impact.\n\n\nAre you the person your neighbors\, friends\, clients\, church members\, or community members come to when they need help\, information\, or resources? \nCommunity leaders are often the first people someone turns to when they are looking for support. But even the most connected leaders don’t always know about all the resources available in our community. \nThat’s why we created the BakerRipley Ambassador Program. \nThe BakerRipley Ambassador Program is an interactive experience designed to help community leaders\, advocates\, volunteers\, and connectors learn more about BakerRipley and the resources available across our programs—so you can become a trusted voice and confidently connect more people to opportunities that can make a difference in their lives. \nWhy become a BakerRipley Ambassador?\nBecause being a community leader isn’t about knowing all the answers. It’s about knowing where to connect people when they need support. \nDuring this session\, you’ll meet BakerRipley team members\, learn how our programs work\, understand who can benefit from them\, and most importantly\, learn how to connect someone to the right resource. \nOur first Ambassador Program session will spotlight: \nEntrepreneur ConnectionDiscover resources available to entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners\, including business education\, coaching\, access to capital\, and other opportunities. \nCivic EngagementLearn how BakerRipley helps community members strengthen their voices\, participate in civic life\, and become more engaged in their communities. \nLearning & Innovation CentersExplore the programs\, services\, classes\, and opportunities available through BakerRipley’s Learning & Innovation Centers. \nWho should attend?\nThis experience is for anyone passionate about helping others and strengthening their community—including community leaders\, neighborhood advocates\, faith leaders\, volunteers\, educators\, nonprofit partners\, small business leaders\, and people who naturally serve as trusted connectors for others. \nYou don’t need a formal title to be a community leader. If people trust you\, come to you for information\, or look to you for guidance\, this experience is for you. \nBe our voice in the community.\nYou may not personally need every BakerRipley resource you learn about—but someone you know might. \nAs a BakerRipley Ambassador\, you can help more people discover resources they may not know exist and connect them to programs and opportunities that can help them move forward. \nYour voice. Your connections. Greater community impact. \n📅 Thursday\, October 29\, 2026⏰ 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM📍 BakerRipley Central – East End Learning Center \nSessions will be offered simultaneously in English and Spanish. \nSpace is limited to 25 participants per session. \nJoin the BakerRipley Ambassador Program and become part of a network of community leaders helping connect more people to resources\, opportunities\, and each other.
