100 Women in Finance (100WF) will host a virtual Town Hall to walk through our organization’s mission, the power of peer networking, and the exciting plans we have in Africa.
With nearly 20,000 members in 27 locations globally, 100WF is committed to building a more diverse and gender equitable finance industry by promoting diversity of thought, raising visibility, and empowering women to find their personal path to success.
The 100WF community connects successful females across cultures, backgrounds, and race, encouraging and motivating each other to challenge the gender inequity in our industry.
We are looking to extend our community into Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.
Come share your experiences — we want to hear from you
In addition to us sharing with you, we would like to hear your experiences both in the industry and in peer networking. What has it meant for your career?
The event is open to all
