The Association of Women in Finance (the "AWF") is a group of finance professionals dedicated to supporting the advancement of women in finance. We are executives, bankers, lawyers, accountants, investment professionals, actuaries, venture capitalists, insurers, and entrepreneurs. We are employed in both industry and public practice in a wide range of industries and company sizes. Quite simply, we exist to encourage women finance professionals to claim their seats at boardroom tables. How do we do it? Since 1996, we’ve been providing a forum for the discussion of issues, a place to exchange and develop business knowledge, and to honour successes. By involving, connecting and developing women in the business community through events like our Economic Update, Real Estate Forum, Fireside Chats and Holiday Party. By recognizing, through the annual AWF PEAK Awards, women who have broken down barriers in the finance industry and achieved excellence. By encouraging young women to enter the finance field through our scholarship program. How can you get involved? Become a member today!
