The Ambassador Community is the WLA’s ambitious next step in building an empowered and diverse community of financial advisors, leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, educators, students, advocates and allies committed to advancing women in the financial advising profession through advocacy and engagement.
Our Ambassadors are a part of a growing network across the country. Together, we are organizing and scaling our energy, resources, outreach, and support for women in the financial advising profession. As a WLA Ambassador you will be a part of a powerful and empowered community making a difference in finally moving the needle in gender representation at all levels in the financial advising profession.
As a WLA Ambassador you will receive exclusive benefits along with opportunities to support advocacy efforts. Ambassadors will benefit from their membership in a growing network of professionals in the exchange of ideas, resources, and tools while collectively helping to scale the reach of our vision to transform the financial advising industry to one in which women comprise an equitable representation at every level.
There is a place for everyone in the WLA Ambassador community who believes that attracting, supporting, and empowering women in the financial advising profession is good for women and good for our entire industry.
WLA Ambassadors include financial advisors as well as advocates and allies, of all gender identities who want to join a movement to advance more women in the financial advising profession.
Early Career Ambassadors are financial advisors with fewer than four years of experience in the profession who are looking to build their network, their business, and their confidence, AND who would like to support other women on their financial advising path.
Student Ambassadors are enrolled in a college or university or are engaged in a financial advising internship and plan to pursue a career as a financial advisor and wish to connect with other women at various stages of their financial advising path.
Many hands make light work! WLA Ambassadors play a valued role in supporting today’s and tomorrow’s generations of women in the financial advising profession by helping the WLA to expand our reach in businesses, communities, and colleges around the country. Whether you have an hour to give each year, each month, or each week, your Ambassador support makes a difference.
