3rd Annual WPF Golf Outing

While there were some die-hard souls that stood up to the high winds and cool temps blowing in from Lake Michigan.... the fair weather golfers decided to head inside and trade in their golf clubs for bowling balls. As you can see we had a great time at the first annual "rain date" alternative to golf.

Don’t worry you can always join in next year for golf if the weather is nice and bowling if it isn't.

    Women in Public Finance welcome the opportunity to reach out to community organizations to share their business experience and mentor young women. On Friday, April 13th several WPF Executive Board members hosted a leadership meeting with members of the Girls Advisory Board of the Girls in the Game organization. Girls in the Game has promoted the development of leadership, fitness and health to more than 13,000 girls in the Chicagoland area.

    The girls led the meeting with in-depth questions for the Board about finance, careers and life experiences. We were also able to assist them with budgeting and planning for their annual summer event. The leadership meeting was a wonderful experience for everyone who participated.
