5th Anniversary
On Feb 5, 2002, 100 Women in Hedge Funds held its first event in New York
City. Since then, we have held more than 90 events in cities across the US, and in London; raised more than $10 million
through five Gala fundraisers in New York and two in Chicago, participated in
Race for the Cure in New York, Dallas, Denver and Austin, and provided members with
opportunities for professional development through our Job Board, Peer Advisory
Councils and 2nd Generation dialogue.
With 6,000 members globally, and growing, we are excited to announce that in
2007 we will be celebrating five years as an organization with a series of events
and activities. We hope that wherever you are in the world, you will be part
of the celebrations! If there is not something planned in your city, we still
want you to be able to celebrate with us too. Please
contact our membership committee
if you'd like to organize something (however casual) in your city. And encourage
your friends and colleagues wherever they are in the world to register with
100 Women in Hedge Funds or contact membership
to see who they can connect with in their city.
