Women in Risk Executive (WiRE) Connection

Join Us to Empower Women in Financial Services Leadership

SAS Global Education Center (next to building A) Cary, NC
Monday, Oct. 7 | 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Women are underrepresented in financial services leadership – and it’s time for a change.

Despite progress, women still face challenges in reaching top leadership roles. We want to bridge this gap by providing a platform for female leaders to connect, share experiences and empower each other.

This inaugural event is more than networking. It’s a movement to elevate women’s voices and influence. By uniting women excelling in sports and business, we can inspire new strategies for leadership, resilience and risk management.
