The CFA Institute and CFA Society Seattle hosted the 2023 CFA Society Leadership Conference in the vibrant Emerald City. The event brought together leading industry individuals who shared insights with an enthusiastic audience.
One of the highlights of the conference was a lively panel discussion on the CFA Institute and the finance industry at large. The panel featured CFA Institute Board Governor and RTSWS Board Member Tricia Rothschild, alongside Margaret Franklin, CFA & CEO of CFA Institute, Joanne Hill, Frederick M. Pinto, ICD.D, CFA, and Jennifer Garbowicz, CFA. Their engaging discussion shed light on the critical role of the CFA Institute and its impact on the finance industry.
We were honored to receive recognition for Rock The Street, Wall Street at the conference. Our mission to bring financial math education to high school girls was recognized, underscoring the importance of financial and investment literacy, role models and access at an early age.
Emily Holm, RTSWS Alumnae & Career Center Manager, played an active role in the conference. She met with a number of CFA members to share our mission, recruited new volunteers and also attended sessions that explored intriguing topics such as "How Gen Z is Reshaping the Investing Landscape."
