New York Gala 2009

The 100 Women in Hedge Funds 2009 New York Gala was held on November 18th at Cipriani 42nd Street, New York. The event raised $1.4 million to benefit Computers for Youth (CFY) which helps low-income children perform better in school by improving their learning environment at home.

100 Women in Hedge Funds presented two hedge fund industry awards at the Gala:

• Kathryn A. Hall, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Hall Capital Partners, will receive the 100 Women in Hedge Funds 2009 US Industry Leadership Award. The award is given in recognition of the kind of outstanding professional talent and business ethics that Ms. Hall exemplifies and that define and advance hedge fund industry standards of excellence.
   
• Joel Klein, Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, will receive the 100 Women in Hedge Funds 2009 Effecting Change Award. The award is given in recognition of the impact that Mr Klein has had in significantly enhancing the educational opportunities for children in New York.
