Women’s Wealth Symposium Honors Purple Diamond Award Winners at 10th Annual Celebration
DALLAS , TX, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Women’s Wealth Symposium (WWS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing women’s financial empowerment, proudly celebrates its 10th Annual Women’s Wealth Symposium by honoring three exceptional leaders with the prestigious Purple Diamond Award: Dr. Cheryl “Action” Jackson, Carolyn Hayden-Garner, and Mary Ehrsam.
The Purple Diamond Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership, measurable impact, and sustained commitment to advancing financial empowerment, economic dignity, and generational legacy.
“What began as a mission to educate women about money has grown into a movement to accelerate their vision,” said Marah Fineberg-Kuck, CFP®, Founder of the Women’s Wealth Symposium. “Knowledge builds confidence, and confidence builds the capital and security to make that vision real.”
The 10th Annual Women’s Wealth Symposium will take place March 7, 2026, at the Highland Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton, in partnership with GoBundance Women, LeadHERship Global, and the C-SUITE NETWORK™, coinciding with International Women’s Day weekend.
