Join WAM NY
By Praveen Prasad, Chair - WAM NY
Whether you are just starting out in your career or a seasoned professional, our WAM NY community provides you opportunities to learn from thought leaders, network with your peers, take part in professional development events, opportunities to volunteer, and explore ways in which you can make a difference in the lives of other women globally.
Joining WAM NY is an immediate way to get connected to other who share your interests and passion.
We are a growing community of women (and yes a few good men!) who are passionate about leadership, microfinance, professional development, promoting empowerment for women and work-life balance. We provide you with numerous opportunities to volunteer as well. Our events, learning and leadership development agenda focuses on:
• Personal & professional development workshops - designed as platforms for education and learning, our in-person events cover a range of issues from Innovation in Microfinance, Financial Services for Women to Voices from the Field, Career Development workshops and Conversations with Thought Leaders.
• Networking events – amongst the many benefits of networking in a supportive and friendly environment, joining the WAM NY community allows you to create a community of people who support each other, who provide emotional support and information that will help each other and you will learn of new developments and opportunities in your field, innovation, leaders and training programs related to your career and development.
• Local, on-site microfinance tours – this event is customized as a small group event, the site visits offer an opportunity to go behind the scenes and learn how entrepreneurs and startup business really operate and the challenges they face- not to mention meeting dynamic entrepreneurs on a one-on-one basis.
• Connecting with the innovators, disruptors and thought-leaders – at WAM NY we strive to explore new forums of learning and expanding opportunities to meet leaders who inspire, share experiences and help us understand pressing issues of our time in an environment of collective learning. This small group event gives you the ultimate opportunity to meet dynamic individuals who are leading their organizations to make a difference in the lives of others.
• Discussion & dialogue around the critical issues in women’s leadership and microfinance – women face many challenges in their aspirations to be leaders, agents of change, to become CEOs or pursue their passions and dreams. It can be daunting figuring everything out! Being part of our community allows you to meet others who are have similar experiences, learn from shared challenges and those who have been there already.
• Supporting economically disadvantaged women globally so that more women can play a leadership role in their communities globally – through our Scholarship Initiative, you can be part of supporting women who, like you, aspire to be the agents of change and be leaders in their communities and organizations
• Member engagement – we love to have our members participate in other creative ways. So share your ideas with us. We would love to hear from you, if you have an interesting story, an article or suggestions on event ideas to share with our community, feel free to contact us. We invite you to be part of our growth and learning, as we evolve as a community of women/members connecting and helping each other realize our dreams and pursue passions and interests!
