New Website and Membership Platform
November 2, 2023
Dear FWA Members and Colleagues,
We are excited to have launched our new and improving membership platform and website! As you explore our website, you'll notice a new and improved design with streamlined navigation, new images and content.
MEMBERS
- Have you logged in to the new platform yet? If not, just click here to set a new password. After you log in, please take a moment to confirm your profile is correct, and update your member directory listing so other members can connect with you.

Anyone can register for events as a guest (or future member!) without logging in. You can also create a profile to access your transaction history with the FWA or facilitate future registrations.
This is only the beginning! In the coming weeks and months we will be rolling out additional changes to the website and new tools to better serve you and enhance the membership experience.
Sincerely,
The FWA Office Team

Empowering the next generation of female leaders in finance Jackie Linden joined the FWA later in her banking career to expand her network, and she served on several committees before joining the board. Currently, she leads Educational Initiatives for the FWA Board. Sherree DeCovny, co-chair of the FWA’s Marketing & Strategic Communications Committee, talked with Jackie about her 40-year career at Citi and why she finds it rewarding to support the FWA mission and champion women in finance.
In Fall 2024, the Financial Women’s Association (FWA) Graduate School Partnerships Committee, with support from BMO Capital Markets Equity Through Education Program, sponsored a finance training program for over 175 Baruch College Zicklin School of Business graduate students. As part of the curriculum, students attended a financial markets overview lecture by KLD Training and completed courses in applied Excel and corporate valuation with Training the Street. The Graduate School Partnerships Committee is proud to help fulfill the FWA’s mission to contribute to our communities and prepare the next generation of professionals through this multi-year initiative. As the financial services industry continues to go through technological and regulatory changes, the Committee hopes these young professionals will gain an edge as they enter the financial services industry with the additional technical skills and financial knowledge acquired from the training program. In the excerpts below, a few participants share how the course helped their corporate valuation knowledge and express their gratitude to the FWA and BMO Capital Markets.

This past week, we had the privilege of celebrating International Women's Day and kicking off our International Business Conference here in France. We began with a warm welcome dinner on Sunday night, followed by a series of events at businesses across central Paris. We have taken a deep dive into France’s technological advancements, energy sector, markets, and economic leadership. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity presented by the FWA International Business Conference, which has brought together delegates from around the world since 1978. It has been an absolute pleasure to experience France in such a unique and enriching way. As we approach the conclusion of this conference and prepare to head back home, I will carry with me the unforgettable experiences and knowledge gained here. La vie est belle! Best, Annette Stewart FWA President 2023 - 2025
