About the Ambassador Community

The Women’s Leadership Alliance is committed to expanding our community and building a strong network across the country in order to scale the energy, resources, outreach, and support for women pursuing a path in financial advising.

The WLA Ambassador Community has been created to organize and activate a diverse community of financial advisors, leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, educators, students, allies, and advocates to empower women to discover, build, and grow a fulfilling and thriving financial advising career.  As a WLA Ambassador you will be a part of a powerful and empowered community making a difference in finally moving the needle in gender representation at all levels in the financial advising profession.

WLA Ambassadors receive exclusive benefits along with advocacy and engagement opportunities to advance the mission of the WLA.  As a WLA Ambassador you will become a part of a professional network benefiting from the exchange of ideas, resources, and tools while collectively helping to scale the reach of our vision to transform the financial advising industry to one in which women comprise an equitable representation at every level.

There is a place for everyone in the WLA Ambassador community who believes that more women should be made aware of the financial advising career path and be empowered to pursue that path fully.
