ROANOKE, Va.--Virginia Credit Union and its Member One division will bring the award-winning, nationally recognized Financial Success for Women Summit to Roanoke on Sept. 22.
Hosted at the Hotel Roanoke, this one-day experience is an opportunity for women in our community to gain valuable insights into financial success, building wealth, and career development.

Attendees will connect with community leaders, participate in engaging workshops, and build a network of like-minded and supportive peers. Space is limited, however, so those interested in participating should register early.
“Research has long shown women trailing men in terms of financial health, with the pandemic having made worse that divide,” said VACU Senior Vice President of Financial Education Cherry Dale. “Women are actively seeking the knowledge and money management skills that will put them and their families on the path toward financial well-being. Our Summit addresses those needs by empowering women with the tools, information, and support network they need.”
Best-selling personal finance author and Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary will provide the Summit’s keynote address, with a full day of programming that will include education sessions on AI as a personal finance tool, how to successfully navigate financial challenges, and the public policy opportunities that could contribute to the economic success of women.
Knowing childcare, a missed work day, and transportation might prove to be obstacles for some interested in attending the Summit, VACU is working closely with local nonprofits and community partners to identify women who need financial assistance to participate in the event.
