The Director of the Financial Women’s Association (FWA) Mentoring Program at Baruch College is looking for a part-time Coordinator for immediate hire.
The Financial Women’s Association of New York (FWA), is a non-profit professional organization established in 1956, with a membership of approximately 1,000 professionals working in the financial services industry or who hold a financial position in another industry. To fulfill that part of its mission, which is “to encourage women to seek career opportunities in finance and business,” in 2002 the FWA initiated as one of its outreach programs, a Mentoring Program at Baruch College.
The primary focus is on personal and career development; one-to-one mentoring; networking with mentors and other FWA members at FWA sponsored events and receptions; with the strong support of monthly luncheon meetings at Baruch with speakers and panels.
