Now in its sixth year, the WLA Mentorship program provides opportunities for women to receive 1:1 support and professional development from other women in the financial advising profession. Our mentees include women from around the country seeking to further their professional skills and to fulfill their personal vision of success. Our mentors are women in the financial advising profession who are “paying it forward” by helping to empower other women to thrive as financial advisors.

Our Mission
Only 16% of Financial Advisors are Women.

For decades, the number of women in the financial advisory profession has hovered around 16%. The time has come to take a bigger piece of that pie. We truly believe a career path in this profession for women is one of the “best kept secrets” in the industry. The Women’s Leadership Alliance is dedicated to showing young women choosing a career, or mid-career women who are looking for a change that this profession is a very rewarding option. If you can’t be what you can’t see, then successful female financial professionals need to be seen. We start here by sharing our stories.
We will Educate, Engage and Lead. Join us. Together we can change the conversation.
