Dear FWSF community,
In today's shifting landscape, I want to reaffirm our enduring commitment to who we've always been. For almost 70 years, FWSF has championed women in finance through mentorship, education, and leadership development.
While external narratives around DEI may evolve, our mission remains steadfast. We continue creating spaces where all women feel valued and empowered, regardless of background.
Our $3 million in awarded scholarships, mentorship programs, and community-building initiatives speak louder than words.
The strength of FWSF has always been its members, dedicated financial professionals who generously share their time, expertise, and passion to lift each other up. Together, we will continue building on FWSF's impressive legacy, creating a financial services industry where all women can thrive.
Our commitment to diversity isn’t just the right thing to do–it’s fundamental to our identity and purpose.
With gratitude and optimism,
Shay Phillips,
VP DEIB Committee
Financial Women of San Francisco
