As we step into Financial Literacy Month, the energy across Rock The Street, Wall Street is building, with more than 15 events over the past month.

From Newport Beach to Nashville, Chicago to Charlotte, Toronto to London, students are connecting directly with industry professionals, gaining real insight into career paths and applying Financial & Investment fundamentals in real time. These moments provide access, build confidence, spark questions and help students consider decisions with clarity.

At RTSWS, we bring the M in STEM to life, through classrooms, coffee chats, Insight Days and leadership panels. Students are stepping forward with purpose. This momentum is powered by a remarkable community. Our volunteers share their stories and help bridge the path from classrooms to careers.

Together, we are expanding access, accelerating opportunity, and strengthening the future of the capital markets.

RTSWS Board Member Gretchen Flicker, CFA joined an industry panel hosted by CFA Society San Francisco, Women in ETFs and Capital Group for the event Give to Gain: Advancing Women, Opening Doors. Gretchen joined fellow panelists Hui-Chien Chang, CFA; Roz Hongsaranagon and Cinthia Murphy. The discussion focused on how industry leaders can open doors for the next generation through guidance, service and nonprofit leadership, reinforcing the evening's theme that investing in others helps create opportunities across the industry.

RTSWS will honor Kristie Feinberg, President & CEO of Manulife John Hancock Investments, as the 2026 Woman of the Year, recognizing her leadership, mentorship, and commitment to expanding opportunities in finance.
