Women in Pensions Network (WiPN) is a forum for women in the pension industry to network and cultivate professional and personal growth. Today, a woman earns 77 cents to a man's dollar and representation of women at director and C-suite levels is stalled at a meager 17%*. The obstacles that women face often have their roots in a lack of mentorship and sponsorship both within their organizations and the industry. It is hard to find peers, mentors and advocates to support reaching goals. Women often are not as active in forming their own industry connections, touting their own accomplishments and asking for recommendations and referrals. That's where WiPN can help. WiPN has a network of 1700+ women and our membership represents all segments of the retirement industry including early, mid- and senior level women across service providers and financial advisors / consultants. Members have access to WiPN's exclusive networking events, mentoring opportunities and interesting webinars. They have unique opportunities to connect with and learn from one another through regional events and receptions at national industry conferences. Make Connections that Count.
