Early August brought two standout networking events for women in finance hosted by the Financial Women's Association. One took place on the green, the other in Midtown NYC, and both highlighted the power of professional connection and community.
On August 5, the FWA’s Long Island Committee hosted its 12th Annual Golf Outing at Cold Spring Country Club, one of Long Island’s premier private courses. Members and guests joined for competitive and fun foursomes, a PGA-led golf clinic, and an evening of cocktails, dinner, raffles, and prizes.
"It was a great group of people doing something fun together. I learned new things on the green and got some great professional advice on two pressing issues I am facing. That is the power of FWA events,” said Alissa Desmarais, FWA Executive Director & COO. FWA member Maria Maris added, “What a fun afternoon/evening this was! Already looking forward to the next one.” A special thank you to the Long Island Committee and our generous sponsors for making this women’s finance networking event a success.
Two days later, on August 7, the FWA Summer Soiree brought together finance professionals, industry allies, and FWA members at The Dawson Restaurant & Bar on West 45th Street. Guests enjoyed light bites, lively networking, and meaningful conversations, including connections with the team planning the upcoming International Business Conference in the UAE, Spring 2026.
“These are the moments that remind me why community matters,” shared Samantha Corredor. “Big thanks to FWA for creating this space. Already looking forward to the next one!” Melissa Damiecki added, “Really enjoyed the evening – great atmosphere and nice conversations.”
Whether on the golf course or at a networking reception, FWA events combine professional development, networking, and community building. See what’s next for FWA and the opportunities waiting for you: FWA Events Calendar.
