About the WLA

 

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 can be a very rewarding option. The WLA was founded by a group of female advisors who have found success and fulfillment in the profession  and we hope you’ll follow in our footsteps.
