Women in Secured Finance

The mission of the SFNet Women in Secured Finance (WISF) group is to promote the advancement of women in leadership in the secured finance industry through networking, education, and advocacy.

This group is a force in the historically male-dominated secured finance industry. As the demographic make-up of our workplace is shifting, we are seeing more women joining our association and making their mark. Since its inception in 2013, WISF has been one of the largest, fastest-growing and most active networks within our community.

In addition to sharing experiences, celebrating successes, and growing personally and professionally, our WISF members have taken part in a number of endeavors, including:

• The SFNet Women in Secured Finance Conference. Our 2021 conference will be live online June 16 & June 23, details coming soon.
• Networking events and panels in conjunction with national events such as the SFNet Annual Convention, as well as SFNet Chapter events. We have featured inspiring speakers such as Sallie Krawcheck, Venus Williams, and Dr. Sharon Melnick.
• Fundraising for charities such as Dress for Success.
• Fun social outings such as a golf clinic at Chelsea Piers.
