Airing this Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 12:30 PM on KERA, Channel 13, the McCuistion Program focuses on Women, Wealth and Giving, based on the book by the same name, co- authored by Margaret May Damen and Niki Nicastro McCuistion.

Women, Wealth and Giving, focuses on the combined work of Margaret May Damen and Niki Nicastro McCuistion and their extensive research on Boom generation women and their social and philanthropic activism.  The team talks about the socially conscious Boom generation woman and how she is turning her activism into active compassion.

The September 2009 issue of Harvard Business Review stated, “that women are a bigger market than China and India combined.” Tom Peters, management guru concurs, “Women are the largest national economy on earth. In the United States they constitute 43% of the nation’s top wealth holders and that number is growing.

And as panelist Becky Sykes adds, “they are writing big checks, especially for causes they really care about, women and children’s issues.”
