FINANCIAL WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION (SINGAPORE)

NOTICE OF 20^TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear FWA Members and Friends,

I hereby give notice for this year’s Financial Women’s Association General Meeting to commence on 25th March 2021. 

In light of the ongoing pandemic, we have decided to run our AGM on Zoom / conference call during lunch time.  We invite all FWA members to dial in to the AGM.  Registration will be required, and details are below.

While we continue on with the online AGM, the spirit of diversity of thought and collaboration have not diminished in this subdued environment.  We will continue to better ourselves in 2021 even though we had a great 2020.  Reviewing the year, we closely engaged with our corporate and individual members with an average of 6 events a month which included virtual corporate lunches and our series of strategic engagements.  Not dampened by the inability to meet, we had a successful mentoring program of a cohort of 42 mentees and 36 mentors. Our Exco team continued to persevere, and we relauched our Social Impact pillar as WEimpact, to serve as an influencer to all professional women.   As a result of all our work and support from our members, we have been recognised with close to 2,000 Linkedin followers to date.

Welcoming the silver linings presented in this new environment, we are taking this time in planning our programs and enhancements.  So, please join me on the 25th March to welcome the incoming 2021 Exco team who will be presenting their respective plans for you.

Jacqueline Chua

President
