Smart Women Series

    The SMART WOMEN Series was created by Dr. Yvonne Katz in 2007, mirrored after the famous book by author David Bach, titled “Smart Women Finish Rich: 9 Steps to Achieving Financial Security and Funding Your Dreams.”  
    Dr. Katz created this educational series to “empower” women by giving them the opportunity to have discussions with provocateurs that are experts on real life and real business topics that affect women’s lives.
