Evercore Wealth Management Hosts Wise Women Afternoon

Over a hundred women from a wide range of backgrounds came together to contribute to the Wise Women afternoon on April 3 in New York. The event was organized around four discussion panels focusing on the cultural, financial and emotional building blocks of independence, including:
 
How the Media Shapes a Women’s Self-Image: Pat Mitchell and Holly Gordon discussed their career experiences, particularly how women’s images can be shaped by the media, often to their detriment. Holly and Pat work together with Participant Media, a company that produces feature and documentary films with social themes, including Spotlight, Contagion, Lincoln and An Inconvenient Truth, and those with a specific focus on women, notably, RGB, The Help, He Named Me Malala, Roma, and A Fantastic Woman.
 
Finding a Compass for Leadership and Self-Reliance: Lynda Applegate, Harvard Business School professor and international consultant, and Maureen Chiquet, former Global CEO of Chanel, were interviewed on leadership strategies and tactics by Linda Lorimer, former VP for Global and Strategic Initiatives at Yale University.
 
Making Money Last a Longer Lifetime: This wide-ranging conversation among three Evercore Wealth Management partners, Martha Pomerantz, Jewelle Bickford and Stacie Price, included suggestions on creating a financial plan, coordinating the plan with an investment portfolio, and identifying the right investment advisor.
 
Mastering a Mindset Toward Success and Happiness: Behaviors that can lead to success and happiness, and the dangers social media poses on the happiness of future generations, were addressed by Dr. Catherine Sanderson, Family Professor of Life Sciences at Amherst College, in conversation with Evercore Wealth Management Financial Advisor Jill Faherty Lloyd.
