OUR VALUES

Empowerment – We believe that when women are empowered with access, opportunity, and support on the path to becoming financial advising professionals, they will not only succeed, they will thrive and they will lead.

Community  –  We seek to create an energized community of advisors, advocates, and allies who share an impassioned vision of an inclusive financial advising industry.

Diversity – We understand that progress includes expanded opportunity and that the financial services industry is made stronger, more sustainable, and more innovative when a more diverse financial advising community is serving the needs of our diverse population.

Collaboration – We are inspired to collaborate with advisors, industry partners, and advocates to pursue innovative and impactful programs to accelerate our collective efforts.  Progress has been too slow.  We can go further when we join forces and work together to create positive change.
