🔥 Hot off the presses 🔥 Financial Advisor Magazine published an interesting article by karen demasters, entitled: Advocate For Women Advisors Says Gender Diversity Is Improving ✨ The article features Megan S. of Crewe Advisors who specializes in helping women join the financial field while serving female clients, AND a dedicated Rock The Street, Wall Street volunteer. 💼 🔗 “Women frequently are better at finding the human connection” that makes financial advice personal, which, in turn, makes prospects want to be clients, and makes clients want to stay with a firm, Megan explained. ⭐ 📉 "I have experienced firsthand what it is like to be a woman in a male-dominated field.” Megan shared that her experiences are what makes her want to help other women enter the financial industry. 💬 📈 The piece notes that the number of female certified financial planners (CFPs) has grown by 13.9% over the last three years... Almost 2,900 women became CFP professionals in those three years, the CFP Board said. 🌟 💡 Building on this momentum, the article also highlights that RTSWS reaches diverse high school girls by bringing the M in STEM to them with a focus on Financial & Investment fundamentals in more than 25 cities across the US, UK and Canada. 🌐 📚 Together with our incredible volunteers including Megan's service, we have impacted more than 6,000 girls since 2012 who have graduated from our academic year-long program. 🎓 💫 The feature underscores that inclusion and access take time. We are so proud of our sponsors, supporters and volunteers as more young women are starting to see the financial industry as a potential career. It closes with Megan noting an encouraging line that advisors also need to bring the next generation of clients into the planning process early. 🚀 📊 #GirlsRockFinance #STEM #WomenInFinance
