Dear Reader Key Dates in IWD History
IWD is always celebrated on 8 March and
is an occasion marked by women's groups around
the
world. This date is also commemorated at the
United
Nations and is designated in many countries as
a national
holiday. When women on all continents, often
divided
by national boundaries and by ethnic,
linguistic, cultural,
economic and political differences, come
together to
celebrate their Day, they can look back
to a
tradition that represents at least nine
decades of
struggle for equality, justice, peace and
development.

Over the years it has also built a great network of various professional people whom it trusts and would refer clients to for their services whether it’s a CPA, Attorney etc. Most people benefit from having a financial professional because most people do not have the time to study and understand all the products/ideas in the financial arena. Many do not have the interest to read up on all the latest investment advice or whatever other topic is relevant to their situation.
