The Power of Connection is at the heart of what we do at Women in Financial Markets (WIFM). As our President & CEO, Cassandra Seier, says: “The Power of Connection is about connecting women to important opportunities to elevate and advance women in financial markets. And creating opportunities for everyone.” WIFM is dedicated to building a community where women can thrive, and where opportunities are created for all. Together, we can shape a more inclusive and empowered financial industry. #WIFM #connect #elevate #advance

Reflecting on an unforgettable evening at the 2024 WIFM Gala & Awards Ceremony, we’re reminded of the power of connection. As Tracy Rucker-Wilson, one of our inspiring board members, beautifully shared: "Every connection that we make has this magical potential to shape our future in the most unexpected ways." Our WIFM community thrives on these moments of connection, and we’re grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to the magic. Here’s to many more opportunities to connect, elevate, and advance together. #WIFM #connect #elevate #advance

We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors who support our mission to connect, elevate, and advance women in financial markets. As one of our sponsors shared: “We are so proud to be sponsors of this organization. We have such an affinity for the mission of connecting, elevating, and advancing women in financial markets. What has impressed me is seeing people from different companies talking in small settings. That is so unusual for a big event; often, people mix with those they know, so it’s very affirming of the mission of this organization.” – Cameron Drinkwater, S&P Dow Jones Indices One of the key benefits of sponsorship is the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, fostering valuable connections across the industry. Thank you for being a vital part of our community! #WIFM #connect #elevate #advance

Bloomberg & Women in Financial Markets (WIFM) are excited to present: We all know the cliché – “commodities is a male-dominated industry.” We have also all heard panels and presentations about lack of representation and efforts to make that different – but are those efforts working? What has changed? Join us for an evening of candid dialogue and networking, as we hear firsthand experiences from female leaders across the commodities community. We’ll discuss the current and future state of commodities, and what it means to be a woman in this industry. We hope you’ll join us for a celebration of progress made, and a discussion of which work still needs to be done.

Watch this inspiring clip from the 2024 WIFM Gala & Awards Ceremony and join us in celebrating the incredible women who are shaping the future of financial markets. As Cristina Diaz, PMP, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), shared during our event: “I’m an early career, first-gen Latina and being surrounded by women who are superheroes is inspiring. I hope to follow in their footsteps, give back to my community, and open doors for other first-gen Latinas.” Her story is a powerful testament to the WIFM community, showcasing the impact of inspiration and paving the way for others. #WIFM #connect #elevate #advance
