IFB Regional Gathering
Seattle, May 31, 2023

The newly rebuilt Industrious co-working space in downtown Seattle was the venue for Invest for Better’s (IFB) wonderful regional gathering in Seattle on May 31, 2023. With the excuse of Ellen Remmer, co-founder of IFB, coming to Seattle to visit family and friends, Steering Committee Melanie Audette and Education Advisor Jill Bamburg leapt into action to pull an event together – inviting those who have already participated in IFB Circles, those were just getting started , those who have served as IFB partners and Pathfinders, and many who were curious about how to get involved. It was a phenomenal group of women, ranging from investment advisors to social entrepreneurs to academics, investors, donors and field-builders with a shared commitment to empower women to use the power of their investments for positive good. Many in the group expressed a desire to continue to nurture this place-based community of colleagues and meet again, and IFB is happy to support them. A world of thanks to Melanie and Jill for their enthusiasm, support and leadership!.
