At The American College Center for Women in Financial Services, we pride ourselves on having excellent research that not only provides great insights into the industry, but with that research, we advance, promote and empower women to excel in the industry. Women working in financial services face unique challenges – challenges easier to overcome with support from other women. Welcome to a safe space built exclusively by women for women working in wealth.

We invite you to get to know your “neighbors” and develop meaningful connections with other women across the industry. Our online community is a private forum inaccessible to the public and protected behind a firewall, so you can feel free to come as you are. Ask questions, share experiences, and impart your wisdom – together, we can inspire, mentor, uncover solutions, and identify opportunities for gender parity in financial services.
