Franklin Templeton's Panel Discussion - Women in Finance: Addressing the Big Gender Short in Financial Services and Investment Management.
Franklin Templeton held a panel discussion, Women in Finance: Addressing the Big Gender Short in Financial Services and Investment Management. It was well attended by attendees of F.T.'s larger conference, Global Investment Forum 2022. Katrina Dudley, a Franklin Templeton Portfolio Manager and RTSWS lead volunteer, is the co-author of the book that prompted this special event.
Maura, RTSWS CEO, kicked off the panel discussion by suggesting that if the financial services industry wants to recruit more women into the profession, they are waiting too long by approaching them at the college level. Instead, young women need to be recruited at an earlier age - in high school as girls in the U.S. fall out of math early.
Here are the top 5 reasons why firms should offer internships to high school-aged girls to help stem the leakage in the talent pipeline of women in two pathways in the M in STEM careers - finance and economics.
Maura then thanked Franklin Templeton for its long-standing support of RTSWS student cohorts in Newark, NJ, and San Mateo, CA.
Three of our NYC Student CEOs were guests of F.T. at the event and had an incredible opportunity to hear from the featured speakers, network with female financial professionals, and even met the former President of the New York Stock Exchange, Stacey Cunningham. See pics below.

RTSWS Hosts (Virtual) Shadow for the Month of May
During the month of May, RTSWS has had a new team member shadowing, Valeria, a high school senior at Avenues: The World School in NYC! Valeria is a native of Mexico City, Mexico. Just this week, she took over the RTSWS Instagram account to show us around her hometown and high school back in Mexico City. Visit our Instagram to check it out.
Last week, Valeria joined Maura Cunningham and Ashley Leftwich at the MacroMinds Foundation 2022 Symposium where she got a first-hand experience on how a finance industry event operates.
"Having this opportunity means so much. It shows me that you can get anywhere you want with the correct orientation and RTSWS is doing that for so many girls all around the US and Canada. I am incredibly grateful to have known this organization before graduating high school because it has completely changed my perspective on the finance sector."
