2024 BOWA Forum Media Toolkit

The 2024 Bank On Washington Annual Forum is being held October 24th and 25th! The theme this year is Leading the Way: Embracing Financial Belonging. We explored the concept of fostering financial belonging at our forum last year and discussed the barriers and challenges faced by marginalized communities that have been historically excluded from mainstream financial services. Because this concept resonated with so many of you, this year we want to take a step further and explore financial belonging in action. We will examine leading models in our communities and discuss how to implement the financial belonging ethos. We’re excited to offer an opportunity for learning, networking, expanding partnerships, and working toward a future where everyone can achieve financial wellbeing.

Check out the forum agenda and be sure to check back for updates as we continue to release information about content and speakers!

Help us spread the word! You can use this media toolkit to promote #BOWA2024 within your own networks and ensure we have a fantastic cross-sector event with folks from around the state!
