This event creates space for candid dialogue, meaningful connection, and shared insight from women leaders navigating power, equity, and leadership in a male-dominated industry. Hosted by CFA Society Providence in partnership with the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island, the conversation elevates women’s lived experience while grounding the discussion in both professional insight and a data-informed equity lens.
