The roar of the crowd, a Liberty comeback win, and the connections sparked in the owner’s suite made July 13 a day that perfectly captured the spirit of the Financial Women’s Association. FWA members and friends gathered at Barclays Center not only to watch an exciting WNBA game but to celebrate community, inspiration, and collaboration.
From courtside cheers to suite-side introductions, the atmosphere was electric as conversations sparked across every corner of the room. It was a chance to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones while enjoying world-class basketball.
Moments That Mattered
What made the day truly memorable was more than the final score. It was the opportunity to connect with leaders, colleagues, and friends in a unique setting. As Laura Smith Dunaief, FWA Wall Street Exchange Co-Chair, shared, “So much fun! Great networking and an exciting game!”
Nina Batson, FWA Past President, summed it up perfectly, “Another great FWA event!”
One first-time FWA attendee said, “It was my first FWA event and I left inspired and energized by the incredible women I met.”
The event would not have been possible without the leadership of Keia Clarke, CEO of the New York Liberty, the support of Robert Windrem of NetsDaily, Programming Committee Chair Patti Domm, FWA Executive Director and COO Alissa Desmarais, and the talented photographer Leya Yusupov who captured the day’s energy.
Why It Matters
This event was about much more than basketball. It was about connection, collaboration, and building a network that creates new opportunities. When women show up for each other, these moments become the fuel for bigger goals and bold actions.
Looking Ahead
The Liberty game is just one of many experiences the FWA offers to bring members together, share ideas, and celebrate leadership. Whether in a boardroom, on the golf course (don’t miss the Golf Outing—Aug 5), or inside an arena, FWA creates spaces where meaningful connections thrive.
