WIPN First Quarter 2020

16 Apr

Thank You 2020 Sponsors

The Women in Pensions Network, a non-profit organization focused on the professional growth and development of women in the retirement industry, wishes to thank our more than 50 Corporate Sponsors for their ongoing support. Founded in 2009, WIPN is sponsored by leading firms that recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion in the financial services industry and encourage women to make their voices heard.

WiPN is providing personal and professional training and support during these difficult times through our extensive, well-regarded webinar programming.  We invest in your female workforce by offering timely topics from Working Remotely to Staying Focused During Disruptive Times.  Encourage your female employees to take advantage of their discounted Sponsor membership so they are better equipped to create new ideas and support clients in this changing economy.

Where We Are Today

WIPN recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and we owe this achievement to the women who believed in our mission and the organizations that supported them. WIPN milestones:

  • 50+ Corporate Sponsors – Help us spread the word! Please let your Relationship Manager (see below) know if there is an organization that would benefit from partnering with WIPN.
  • Nearly 30 Local Chapters and growing! How does a chapter form? Simply by the women stepping up in their respective territories to create a chapter and commit to regular events.
  • Over 1150 Members strong.
  • 342 Sponsor Members – that averages out to be approximately 7 members per sponsor firm!

WIPN Leading Forward

WIPN wants to help you bring added value to the women of your firm who are on the path to becoming the future leaders within your organization. We mentor emerging leaders and provide thought-provoking content backed by real-world scenarios that support personal development and foster leadership skills for the women in your organization.Although in-person events have been canceled through May (due to Covid-19), our members-only webinar series continues to flourish with record numbers of participants registering.  Our robust webcast model of offering fresh, relevant content mixed with expert speakers and panelists has proven to be a winning combination. The topics and speakers for the series are vetted by the Board.  We encourage you to advocate for women of your firms to join and attend these events.

What can you do?  Find an advocate within your firm (existing WiPN member perhaps?) who could lead the charge with getting more of your women employees involved with WiPN by becoming members and using your discount code. Contact our Sponsorship team today.

New Relationship Managers

Your firm is supported and aligned with a dedicated Relationship Manager from our WiPN Sponsorship sub-committee.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your dedicated contact below.

Sponsor News

There will be a WiPN Sponsor conference call on April 23, 2020 at 4:00 PM EST.
The call will provide a WiPN update and give you the opportunity to hear directly from key WiPN leaders including:

2020 Sponsor Invoice Reminders

There are many benefits once you become a WiPN sponsor. We have sent out reminder invoices to all firms who currently sponsor WiPN and who have not yet remitted their annual fee.  If you have not received your invoice, please email the Sponsorship team.  We would like to have all sponsor payments in by April 20th in time for the Sponsor Update Call.

Diversity and Inclusion

Do you have a primary or unique D&I contact at your firm that we can connect with and share how we may help support your firm’s D&I initiatives? WiPN’s new diversity initiative can help you in your recruitment efforts by leveraging your sponsorship to promote job opportunities within your firm and find qualified candidates through the WiPN network. If you have a Business Resources Group focused on women, please introduce a member of this group to your WiPN Relationship Manager. We’d like an opportunity to discuss how this Business Resources Group can benefit from WiPN’s resources and have a dedicated WiPN advocate within your organization.
