It’s Written In The Stars! 

September 30, 2022 | 11:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. | The Westin Galleria

At The Women’s Resource, we passionately believe that a woman who controls her finances controls her destiny, and through our work, we provide the resources that help women see and step into their power to manage their own—and their communities’— financial opportunities.
The Annual Luncheon raises 40% of The Women’s Resource’s operating budget every year. We expect over 500 individuals at our 31st Annual Luncheon. The vast majority of attendees will be women leaders in business, banking and finance. Every dollar raised at the Luncheon goes towards maximizing our community impact

Our Mission

The Women’s Resource helps women and girls make choices toward becoming independent, productive and financially stable. We envision a day when every woman and girl has the KNOWLEDGE and HOPE she needs to reach her financial goals. 

In our programs, women acquire the essential financial knowledge, skills and confidence they need to make sound decisions and improve their lives – for themselves and for generations to come. For 2.8 million Houstonians who are experiencing financial distress, The Women’s Resource trains and coaches women and girls, meeting them where they are. We inspire financial change, improving financial health, and overall individual and family well-being. For more information about our history, community impact and programs, click here.
