NOTICE OF 21^ST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear FWA Members,

I hereby give notice for this year’s Financial Women’s Association General Meeting which will be held remotely on 24th March 2022. 

We seek your support to sign up to vote in our new executive committee team 2022. Our new Exco slate will continue to strive to do their best of their abilities to promote education, advancement, and recognition of women, encourage young female leaders of tomorrow to advance in finance through mentoring. Finally, to contribute to social and community development for the betterment of women.  

FWA had a very busy and fulfilling 2021. Our key highlights reached more women in finance and making an impactful to women in Singapore for the Year of Women’s Development.  We hosted 10 monthly webinars to almost 1,100 participants, we grew significantly in corporate memberships.  Our cornerstone mentoring program received an overwhelming signup which ended with a final selection of 30% (50 mentees) out of the total applications.  Most importantly we broke new grounds in two key areas.  FWA embarked on a national project by doing a research on Financial Literacy for Women in Finance for MSF as part of the government’s Women’s Development feedback. Finally, created the most ambitious project in FWA history by holding our first every symposium with the help of 100 volunteers and speakers from finance to present 10 topics online over a half day to almost an audience of 700.

The new Exco slate to be presented at the AGM looks forward to sharing more exciting plans with you on the year ahead.  

Please note this event is open to members only and is free of charge.  We invite all FWA members to dial in to the AGM.  Registration will be required, and details are below.
