2025 BOWA Forum Media Kit

The 2025 Bank On Washington Annual Forum being held September 18th and 19th in Tacoma at William W. Phillips Hall at UW Tacoma! The theme this year is Pathways to Financial Belonging!

Over the past two years, we explored financial belonging and discussed the barriers and challenges faced by marginalized communities that have been historically excluded from mainstream financial services. This year, we are bringing together our network of partners to generate new ideas and connections to improve the financial stability of our un- and underbanked neighbors and those furthest from opportunity.

Our objective is to foster understanding and partnerships across sectors that may have vastly different systems and strategies but share a common goal of increasing financial empowerment for everyone.

We will do this together through

Highlighting innovative, community-centered models of increasing financial wellbeing, and
Discuss how we might hold a collective vision of progress on the different pathways to financial belonging

We’re excited to offer an opportunity for learning, networking, expanding partnerships, and working toward a future where everyone can achieve financial wellbeing.
