The Glass Half Full: Bank of America hosts third annual Women in Business Leadership Conference
The 2024 Women in Business Leadership Conference in New Jersey was designed to build connections and create new opportunities for entrepreneurs. The conference underscored the strides women are making as business leaders, professional investors and economic powerhouses. In addition to celebrating achievements, the conference encouraged attendees to continue breaking down barriers and driving progress in the face of social and economic challenges.
Creating a Place to Call Home
Like many cities across the country, Jersey City is experiencing a rapid revitalization but, at the same time, not all residents have safe and affordable places to live.
Through the construction of affordable housing options like the Dr. Lena Frances Edwards Apartments, local residents – like Taylor Allen and her daughter – have found both security and opportunity in a new home.
