Join us during Women’s History Month as we take this moment to remember that history doesn’t happen, it is made. FWA’s mission to advance all women in the financial community is about paving the way forward - and the way can be paved with steps both large and small. From the history-making endeavors of our eight founding members, to the mentors paying it forward and preparing the next generation of women leaders, to members like you - the heart of the FWA community.

Today we ask you all to play a part in advancing all women by supporting our mission with a small donation of $25, $50 or $100 dollars. No donation is too small. It is a chance to put your brick in the road to success for our next generation of women leaders.

Please give to our FWA Paving the Way Forward Campaign!

FWA Salutes the History Makers!

Throughout the month, we will be highlighting women from the FWA's history - past presidents, awardees, and others who have made a contribution to paving the way forward for women in our community.

This week, we highlight Joan Farr, FWA Founder and President 1957-58. For 53 years, Joan Farr worked on Wall Street for firms including Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, Scudder, Stevens and Oppenheimer & Co. and Bank of New York. In 1956, she co-founded the Young Women’s Investment Association, which became the FWA in 1965. In 1972, Institutional Investor recognized her as a top Wall Street analyst.
