2nd Generation Dialogue Initiative

We have within 100 Women in Hedge Funds a subset of members who are junior in their hedge fund careers. To cater to this exciting demographic, the "Second Generation Dialogue Initiative" provides a venue to help the junior women become successful in the next steps in their hedge fund careers. The dialogue consists of a series of events to cover various issues, challenges, and decisions women may encounter during their upward career paths.

As an outgrowth of the 100 Women in Hedge Funds' Peer Advisory Council groups and part of the Professional Leverage platform, this forum creates a more intimate roundtable that enables young women hedge fund professionals to enhance the skills, tools, and market intelligence they need in order to advance in their careers. The series focuses on emerging issues for second generation of women in hedge funds, and create an atmosphere where more junior hedge fund professionals can discuss these issues amongst themselves as well as seek out information and advice from the senior members of 100 Women in Hedge Funds. In addition to panel discussions, the meetings incorporate workshops, book readings and networking opportunities.

The "Second Generation Dialogue Initiative" will be a series of six meetings over a period of twelve months, with sessions at two-month intervals and arranged by the Second Generation Dialogue Task Force. We expect the group meeting size will range from 50-75 participants per meeting. Thank you to all members who responded, applications are now closed. Please contact the Second Generation Dialogue committee if you have any questions.
