Ten different sessions will be held beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Cemo Hall on the UH central campus.

"Experts from a variety of firms will lead sessions on many different financial challenges facing women today," said Janice Cellier, Divisional Director for Invesco Distributors, Inc.

"We believe women in every stage of life will have the opportunity to benefit from one or more of the sessions we have scheduled. Men are certainly welcome to attend, too."

The Oct. 22 session lineup includes such topics as:

  • Focus on Retirement
  • Women in Transition
  • You Are Starting Your Own Business! Now what?
  • Elder Care
  • Successful Women Invest in Themselves
  • Ten Things Every Woman Should Know About Their Finances

In 2000, C.T. "Ted" Bauer — co-founder of Houston's AIM Management Group, which merged with Invesco in 1997 — gave $40 million to the University of Houston's College of Business Administration, which now bears his name. Cemo Hall is named for UH alumnus Michael J. Cemo, former president and CEO of AIM Distributors, Inc.

"We could not be happier to host this event with Invesco," said Bauer Dean Latha Ramchand. "The first Financial Boot Camp for Women will honor the legacies of Ted Bauer and Mike Cemo in a very practical way, by giving real-life financial advice to women, who have long been underserved in the investment world."

The event's $25 registration fee includes lunch and a scholarship donation to the UH Bauer College of Business. For more information, including the opportunity to register online, please visit http://www.invesco.com/bootcamp/index.html.
