Collaborative Women in Investment Management (WIM) Initiative
A Global Alliance to Further Inclusion & Diversity
CFA Society Italy is proud to support the Collaborative Women In Investment Management (WIM) Initiative, a partnership among 80 CFA societies and FPA chapters across US, Canada, EMEA and LatAm that have created a unique program to empower female professionals across all facets of the finance industry, to support the advancement and development of female leaders of all backgrounds, as well as to celebrate their accomplishments and to establish a broad-based community and share resources to promote our shared vision of inclusion, diversity and equity in capitalism.
With a combined member base exceeding 60,000, this partnership will enhance networking opportunities at all levels and facilitate the formation of a peer support system for members. The CFA Society network also sees the new world of virtual programming as an opportunity to build a global community, and to share resources to create exceptional programs.
The Board of Directors of Collaborative WIM initiative is comprised of CFA Society leaders:
- Sarah Yao Schutzman, CFA, Managing Partner, Providence Heights Capital Management LLC (on behalf of CFA Society Indianapolis WIM)
