Grounds for Connection: Women in Investments

CFA Society Detroit and FPA Michigan invite you to a relaxed evening of networking, coffee education, and great company at Dessert Oasis in Ferndale . This isn’t your typical networking event — we’re pulling back the curtain on Dessert Oasis’ in-house roastery with a guided tour and walkthrough of how their coffee operation actually works, followed by a guided tasting featuring a few standout selections from their menu so you can experience the range firsthand. Pair that with sandwiches, pastries, and good conversation, and you’ve got an easy, low-pressure way to reconnect with fellow CFAD and FPA members — no agenda, no pitch, just community. This event is designed with women in finance in mind, and everyone is welcome to join us.
