Southwest Florida Women in Investment Management was established by CFA Society Naples to demonstrate the commitment of the finance community to inclusion and diversity, and to support the advancement and development of female leaders of all backgrounds.
As part of this initiative, CFA Society Naples provides programming and networking opportunities to support professionals and students on their career journey in the investment management industry. Most recently, the local society hosted a joint happy hour with the Collier County Women’s Bar Association, which allowed CFA Society Naples members to network with likeminded professionals and further build both personal and professional relationships. The event was a great success, with over 50 women in attendance.
Over the 2022/2023 season, the local society has a number of high-profile speakers lined up for events focusing on Women in Investment Management. These include:
- 27 September 2022: Krista Fogelsong, Former ABC 7 News Anchor
- 27 October 2022: Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment Strategist, Schwab
- 14 November 2022: Donna Zarcone, retired COO, Harley Davidson Financial
- 10 January 2023: Dorrit Bern, CEO of Charming Shoppes Inc.
Mia Hyatt, CFA, Vice President, CFA Society Naples commented, “We are excited by the immediate success of Southwest Florida Women in Investment Management. It shows the need and desire for women to network among each other and learn from other successful women.”
