| Our Mission The mission of the Women's Finance Exchange of Houston (WFE Houston) is to develop professional women working in financial areas by providing networking and learning opportunities in a relationship-driven environment. WFE Houston is a group of dynamic women who are established in our professions. Most of our members are service providers in the financial disciplines such as banking, accounting, money management, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, corporate securities, law, commercial finance and investor relations counseling. Our History The Women's Finance Exchange was founded in 1990 in Atlanta as a forum where women who are active in the financial arena could come together periodically to talk about business issues and to network. The Houston Chapter was formed in 1994 and the Dallas Chapter was formed in 1997. Our Objectives * Create and develop a network for professional women with careers in the financial services industry or careers supporting financial services. * Generate referral partnerships by networking with others in the organization. * Provide programs that foster professional development and encourage social interaction among members. * Give back to our community by promoting and enhancing the welfare of all women. |
EVENTS RECAP
18th Annual Duck Hunt
More than just a fashion show, our 18th annual WFE Houston Duck Hunt drew a crowd of almost 90 members and guests who gathered at the Junior League for glimpse of fall clothing styles and to hear the latest trends.
Summer Sizzle
Sweltering heat and a torrential rain storm didn't put a damper on our Summer Sizzle networking event this year, which was held at the chic champagne and wine bar, Cha in the River Oaks area.
Living Your Colors
On May 17 we held our Living Your Colors workshop, which was led by Mary Davis of Choices Seminars. For the past 17 years Mary has facilitated hundreds of people through various life changing processes, and she has become convinced that Colors has the ability to be the simplest yet most profound tool for people to use to understand that we are all truly different.
