Women's Day in Celebration of America's 250th Birthday
The American Dream: American Women Leading The Next Trillion Dollar Industries
During this moment of historic wealth transfer to women, how do we do more to bring women to the table as family office leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and policy makers to launch the next trillion-dollar industries and move capital allocation to women from 2 - 20% simultaneously. This panel will develop shared market intelligence on how to leverage the timing of the wealth transfer to women leaders in finance, resource security, health and deeptech to guide America’s growth trajectory for the next 250 years. The stories shared by our experts embody the belief, determination, and execution of the American Dream. The roundtable format will be interactive for audience members, including those who are joining us from Fortune 500 companies, family offices, innovative start-ups, and institutional finance.
The Providers coalition is a circle of women who carry responsibility for wealth and innovation who act as a coordinated system to support America in its next 250 years. The Providers organize around Valleys: real places with land, institutions, and communities where public, private, and civic efforts can align. Del Valle is committed to leading the coalition through Valley-thinking frameworks, private investment deals, and closed-session convenings.
