Money event today

The Idaho Smart Women, Smart Money conference takes place today in Coeur d'Alene.

Idaho State Treasurer Ron Crane is hosting the event at North Idaho College in the Schuler Auditorium.

"It is an all-day seminar designed for women to teach the techniques of managing money - saving, investing and planning for the future," Crane said.

Registration opens at 7 a.m. and the event runs until 4:30 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome. There is no charge to attend, and a free lunch is included.

Expert speakers will address various financial-literacy subjects, with a focus on how they link to women. There will be time for attendees to visit exhibitor booths.
