Women lead the charge in STA's first ever multi-city Affiliate campaign

We are proud to report that the launch of our multi city clothing drive by STA Affiliates partnering with our Women in Finance initiative is well under way.  By incorporating the Security Traders Association's core strengths and values of networking and philanthropy, we developed the concept of contributing professional clothing to underprivileged communities and people to be incorporated in a networking event.

Thank you to our volunteer members who reached out to local retailers and corporations such as Rebecca Taylor, Brooks Brothers, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch who eagerly contributed their name, venue, refreshments, discounts and donations without hesitation. It is with sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of our sponsors and partners for making this effort possible.

This humbling reception speaks volumes about our members and affiliate organizations and is a testament to the effectiveness of our newly formed Women in Finance (WIF) initiative. 

The WIF Committee takes pride in initiating this campaign and acknowledges the tireless efforts that have been and continue to be committed to making this clothing drive a success.  And a huge thank you to everyone - man and woman alike - for your enthusiastic support.

Please check our WIF webpage for event details and contact information near you.  We look forward to seeing you there!
 
Sincerely,
The STA WIF Committee

Kevin O'Leary of 'Shark Tank' invests in 27 companies and says the only ones making money have female CEOs
by Molly Mullshine, Business Insider, 5/11/15

"Shark Tank" investing star Kevin O'Leary says women lead all of his companies that are showing returns. "All the cash in the last two quarters is coming from companies run by women," he told Business Insider at a recent event for the startup Honeyfund, in which he is an investor. "I don't have a single company run by a man right now that's outperformed the ones run by women."
