In 2018, Kerry Hannon and Nanette Blandin, founder of the Nexus Institute,<\/a> jointly developed the She Leads program. They designed the core agenda based on their backgrounds in personal finance and leadership education. Key planning principles included customizing the agenda for each location, recruiting local speakers whenever possible, and incorporating a variety of learning modalities that optimize learning by women.<\/p>\n

Future events to be held in Augusta, Macon and Savannah. Other states including Iowa, Michigan and New Mexico, have expressed interest in the program and those events are now under development.
