ANNOUNCING AN EXCITING NEW FWA SIGNATURE EVENT!!!
FIRST ANNUAL FWA 2017 SUMMIT & AWARDS RECEPTION
JUNE 15th 2017
We asked, You Answered
We heard YOU!
While the FWA’s traditional annual dinner was always a big success, we learned that YOU were open to a new signature event that would satisfy both your intellectual and social curiosity.
We heard that
- You wanted the opportunity to learn about evolving trends during this disruptive time in our industry, and
- You wanted an opportunity to network in a dynamic setting
We created an inaugural event in response.
FWA friends, industry leaders, experts and colleagues will gather for the FWA Inaugural Annual Summit on June 15th.
This event will mark an exciting evolution from the FWA's Annual Dinner and Signature Event to a dynamic new format providing a content-rich program focusing on cutting edge financial industry issues, while continuing to recognize our Women of the Year honorees and the philanthropic programs we are engaged in throughout the year.
It will be both an enriching and lively opportunity for networking with colleagues and industry leaders, and ultimately, demonstrates our continuing commitment to the evolving interests of FWA members and corporate sponsors.
Proceeds from the FWA Summit & Rewards Reception will support the FWA’s philanthropic programing and serves as our primary fundraising activity to continue to serve those involved in our educational programs, including high school and college student mentoring, Financial Back Pack outreach, leadership development and other community programs.
We hope you’ll join with hundreds of industry leaders for an afternoon of timely panel discussions on key topics for the financial services industry. There will be an opportunity to network with Summit Panelists and other participants at the reception honoring this year’s FWA awardees.
