2023 Women in Leadership Speaker Series: "Don't Be Afraid to Ask"

The La Grange Business Association invites you to an interesting evening of ideas, support and networking on Wednesday, August 30 at our next Women in Leadership speaker series in 2023. Called "Don't Be Afraid to Ask," the remarks will focus on the personal and professional journey that took Amy Fahey through her 29 -career in banking to Co-Founder and Board Chair of First Women’s Bank.

You’ll hear about the growing and powerful women’s economy and the challenges women-owned small businesses face. And you’ll also discover just how important it is to develop a strong relationship with your bank, and the steps you can take today to prepare to access the capital you need to help your business grow and thrive.

You'll also meet Emily Mattes, the Senior Vice President Business Banking at First Women’s Bank as she shares the First Women’s Bank mission to grow the economy and advance the role of women within it. As an experienced business banker with 15 years in the industry, she specializes in conventional and SBA lending for small businesses. Emily prides herself in building and maintaining relationships with her clients that come from all industries and business life stages. 

Amy, Emily and First Women’s Bank strive every day to support the mission by building a community of resources, support and inspiration for all small business owners.
