Selected volunteers will be instrumental in shaping the strategy. Their role involves event planning, student and university outreach, and contributing to the SES's monthly student newsletter. This is a chance to not only grow professionally but also to help mold the future of aspiring finance professionals.
Volunteers will act as ambassadors for WIBF, promoting the SES both internally and externally, and building relationships that will forge the future of women in finance.
