​WAM NY  is at the forefront of expanding leadership, personal and professional development opportunities for women in the financial inclusion, microfinance, and social entrepreneurship space.

We bring together a trailblazing community of  thought-leaders, investors, changemakers, practitioners and organizations through a diverse, rich and robust events calendar that advances the collective voice of women’s leadership.

Event proceeds go to support our Scholarship Initiative. ​Through our Scholarship Initiative, WAM NY provides financial support to economically disadvantaged women in the microfinance sector globally. We support the aspirations of women entrepreneurs to become agents of change in their communities.
