November 13 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Join WHIP this November 13th at First Women’s Bank for a powerhouse event designed to help you maximize income and control costs—just in time for Chicago’s coldest season.
We will hear from Marianne Markowitz, who served as Acting Administrator Small Business Administration under President Obama. A longtime champion for women in business and finance, Marianne created the bank to close the gender lending gap and empower women to build wealth through ownership and leadership.
She’ll be joined by other notable speakers—including leaders in property management, finance, energy efficiency, and real estate investment—who will share sharp, actionable insights on how to make more, waste less, and scale smarter this winter and beyond.
We’ll dive into:
- Smart strategies to boost your bottom line and keep operations lean
- Cutting-edge winter tech like high-efficiency heat pumps and HVAC upgrades
- Cost-saving tactics that work for property owners, managers, and investors
- Real talk from women who lead, including insight from the First Women’s Bank leadership team
- Connections with a community of badass women in housing, finance, and real estate
Because making money is great—but keeping it and scaling it smartly is even better.
