The great thing about being a woman in a man’s world is that it brings us closer together. The glass ceiling is difficult and annoying, but women in finance are so scarce that the connections made with each other are usually strong and supportive. Here is a list of clubs some with chapters around the world, others entirely based on the web:
Women’s Bond Club
Based in: New York
One of the oldest of its kind (est. 1921), the Bond Club focuses on mentoring and education. Events range from community service to resume workshops. Their relationships with significant corporations and non-profits help support women in the field. Membership is diverse, with women holding jobs in consulting and technology, all in the area of finance.
