FWA Network
Through relationships with international professional women's organizations, the FWA is creating new opportunities for members to expand their business connections across the U.S and around the world. Members of the FWA are automatically members of The International Alliance for Women (TIAW) and the New York Women's Agenda (NYWA) -- offering a global network totalling thousands of professional women in the business, not-for-profit and government sectors.
The organizations below are organized based on their relationship to the

| The FWA of Singapore was formed in late 2001 by a group of 12 women. Like the FWA's around the world, the main aim of the group is to provide a platform to network with other experienced women professionals in the financial industry. Members come from a cross section of senior professionals in both the private and public sectors, in particular from various financial organisations like commercial banks, investment banks, fund management companies, brokers and governmental institutions. We hope the organization will provide all members with an opportunity to meet and network in a positive, friendly environment. |
