Women Working in Wealth Summit Hosted by The American College Center for Women in Financial Services

Hosted by the American College Center for Women in Financial Services, the two-day event brings hundreds of women from across the industry together for two days of networking, inspiration, and a shared mission to help advance women in the profession. 

Kristin Lemkau, CEO of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, will be this year’s keynote speaker. In a fireside chat with Wall Street Journal reporter Veronica Dagher, Kristin will discuss her experience taking on a new business and rebuilding the advisor experience at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. “Whether it’s growing their business or helping a client navigate a major life change, never underestimate the power of a woman in wealth,” said Lemkau. “I’m looking forward to speaking with women who are helping their clients leave a legacy for the next generation.” 

Attendees will honor the recipients of this year’s Women Working in Wealth Awards, created to recognize inspirational women who demonstrate how to advance other women in financial services. The gathering will commence on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, with the networking opportunity, "Clips, Cocktails, and Conversations," a welcome reception followed by a private preview of “$avvy”, a documentary that investigates the historical, cultural, and societal norms around women and money. Attendees will be given access to the full-length documentary after the event to watch with clients, colleagues or anyone who needs to better understand her personal finances. Prior to the conference opening on day two, guests can opt to take part in a walk on Wall Street. 

The Center for Women in Financial Services is committed to promoting the advancement of women in the financial services profession through research, education, and awareness. Part of their work to #EmbraceEquity and #BreaktheBias includes dismantling myths about women and providing tools and resources to women and their allies to create a more inclusive industry. 

This year’s agenda features two tracks: one for practitioners and one for leaders. The practitioner track will provide three hours of CFP® Continuing Education (CE) credits and CE from The College. Attendees will also have access to two additional hours of CE post-event. 

“We are thrilled to be back together on International Women’s Day at the Women Working in Wealth Summit and Awards to support female financial professionals with access to a supportive community and educational opportunities through The American College of Financial Services,” said Hilary Fiorella, Executive Director of The American College Center for Women in Financial Services. “The Center for Women in Financial Services is grateful for this opportunity to gather to share ideas and best practices to help women working in financial services face unique challenges and build their careers.”
