This marks a first: a program on the Spokane local government TV channel earns a post on the Office Hours business blog.

This Thursday's “Council Connection,” the Channel 5 program featuring Spokane City Council members as hosts, will include a session entitled “Enhance Your Assets—A Financial Forum for Women.”

It airs live Thursday, Aug. 26, at 7 p.m. on CityCable 5.  Council Member Amber Waldref (in photo) will host the program with guest Julie Griffith, regional director of Money Management International and co-chair of the group’s Creating Assets Savings & Hope Financial Education Committee.

Also aboard will be Sue Welberry, another member of the Creative Assets committee and a staff worker at WorkSource Spokane.
