Women in Insurance and Financial Services (WIFS) was founded in 1936 and is an association of financial services professionals working together to attract, develop and advance women in an underrepresented profession. No other financial services organization provides programming designed for women, by women.
2021 was the 85th anniversary of WIFS! Throughout the year we reflected on the past 85 years, our accomplishments and the lives that WIFS has changed.
Watch SHINE, the 85th anniversary video, to learn all about how WIFS got started and how it has grown to be a vibrant community of thought leaders looking to the future of women in the industry.
