Financial Services Professionals

Last Thursday, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Financial Services Professionals (FSP) at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. The evening was filled with meaningful conversations, well-deserved recognition, and appreciation for a decade of impact in the financial services sector. We were honored to have Reps. Maxine Waters, Stacey Plaskett, and Joyce Beatty join us for this special celebration. We proudly presented Congressman Gregory Meeks with the FSP Trailblazer Award for his groundbreaking contributions and leadership in ensuring that our capital markets, financial services industry, and broader economy are inclusive, transparent, and diverse. This year, we renamed the award the De’Ana Dow Trailblazer Award in recognition of De'Ana Dow’s exceptional influence in shaping our industry. It was truly special to celebrate her as the first recipient under its new name. The fireside chat featuring CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson and NYSE Chair Sharon Bowen brought valuable insights, making the night even more memorable. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible sponsors for making this celebration possible. Your continued support fuels our mission to connect and empower financial services professionals.
