Women in Securitization
Founded in 2014, SFA’s Women in Securitization (WiS®) initiative focuses on the development, advancement, and retention of women in the structured finance industry by providing educational content, professional resources, and an expansive platform to connect with advocates – male and female – across the industry.
WiS Wouldn’t Exist Without Sponsors Like You
The support of our sponsors allows us to continue to bring industry-leading programming and resources to our WiS members. WiS sponsorship opportunities provide several tiers so corporate institutions and individuals can determine how they can best support and sponsor this important initiative.
Get Involved with JA
WiS would not be possible without our essential partner, JA Worldwide. The Structured Finance Association thanks them for supporting WiS and strongly encourages our members to learn more about their mission at jaworldwide.org.
With the help of our members, we can join together to fulfill volunteer needs for various JA chapters across the nation. If you are interested in serving as a WiS/JA champion and leading a volunteer opportunity in your city, please contact WiS@structuredfinance.org.
