Women Investment Professionals (WIP) Chicago

What an honor it was for #WIPChicago to host our inaugural Minneapolis regional event! We packed the house for a midyear market check-in with our all-female CIO panel. We loved the opportunity for the Chicago and Minneapolis women’s investment groups to combine forces in celebrating excellence in the female investing community. Thank you to our speakers Mackenzie Merrill, CFA; Sonali Dalal; Kelsey Deshler; and Sue Slocum, and everyone in the audience for making it a night to remember.
