What We Stand For
CWIM is a grassroots movement built around four core commitments:
- Empowering women across all segments of the investment and finance profession
- Advancing female leadership while recognizing the achievements of trailblazers in the field
- Building community by sharing resources and uniting members around a common vision of inclusion
- Driving demand for meaningful diversity across the industry
With a combined membership exceeding 60,000 professionals globally, the CWIM partnership opens doors to peer support networks, cross-border collaboration, and career-defining connections. Virtual programming has further expanded our reach, helping build a truly international community of finance professionals.
The initiative launched its first event on 29 September 2020, hosted virtually by CFA Society Chicago Women's Network — the beginning of an ongoing series celebrating female leaders and inspiring the next generation of investment professionals.
