Established in 1921, the Women's Bond is a non-profit
organization dedicated to the professional development and
networking of women in financial services. The Women's Bond Club
prides itself on being more than a network; it is a vital community
of experienced women across financial services who share a common
mission, “to advance women's leadership, grow our intellectual
capital, and return worth to our companies, communities and
upcoming generations.” These goals are accomplished by sponsoring
events and community service activities and by developing
relationships with corporate sponsors and other not-for-profit
institutions that support women. Key to its mission is the
scholarship program for young women enrolled in undergraduate
university programs focused on business. The Women’s Bond Club
membership reflects buy-side and sell-side across financial
services, and a cross-section of executive management, consulting
and technology functions. For more information on the Women's Bond
Club, please visit www.womensbondclub.com.
Proceeds from the annual Merit Award Dinner go to the Women's
Bond Club and its many charitable giving programs which focus on
assisting in college preparedness for girls interested in careers
in business and finance and the WBC College Scholarship
Program.
