The fourth edition of Let’s Get TogetHer was successfully held in our six service regions: Montreal, Quebec City, Montérégie, Laurentians, Sherbrooke, and Toronto. These annual gatherings provide a valuable opportunity for current participants and alumnae of the Let’s Start Up Pathway to come together, build connections, and network.
This year, a total of 157 women took part in these enriching events, filled with meaningful conversations and learning.
At the Lise Watier Foundation, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of taking control of personal finances and making informed financial decisions. That’s why, in each region, participants attended the conference “The Power of Personal Finances,” led by Véronique Berthiaume. The session covered essential topics such as:
- Why women may be reluctant to talk about money
- The psychology of money
- The three key steps to managing finances
- The difference between saving and investing
- Discovering financial archetypes
This conference aimed to help women overcome limiting beliefs, strengthen their self-confidence, and take control of their financial future by encouraging open conversations about money.
Each region also hosted an inspiring panel featuring dedicated professionals from the entrepreneurial and financial sectors:
- Toronto (20 participants): Ines Benzaghou, Oasis Centre des femmes
- Sherbrooke (13 participants): Solution Budget Plus, BDC, and Evelyne Ernst-Simard, Financial Security Advisor
- Quebec City (18 participants): Code F and Joanie Dansereau, Financial Security Advisor
- Montreal (52 participants): Troisième Cercle, Maison de l’Innovation Sociale, Entrepreneuriat Microcrédit Montréal, and Alice Ying, Accountant
- Montérégie (27 participants): Code F, JCCFQ, and Evelyne Ernst-Simard, Financial Security Advisor
- Laurentians (27 participants): Sandy Lachapelle, Financial Planner
Over the years, Let’s Get TogetHer has become a powerful engine for support and sisterhood, creating space for experience sharing and fostering strong networks among the women supported by the Lise Watier Foundation.
