Speaking to SFT, the co-leaders of the London Chapter highlight how the significant milestone serves to not only galvanise and give momentum to all the combined effort and energy being channelled into Women in 麻豆传媒 Finance, but will help to propel the discussions and solutions that will drive a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace for the future.
The women dedicate the success of the network to the ongoing encouragement and contributions from across the group鈥檚 membership, including its male allies, 鈥渁ll of whom have enabled the network to deliver on its mission鈥�.
Creating a community to foster connections and promote the advancement of women in the securities finance industry, the Women in 麻豆传媒 Finance group has made its mark in the industry since its emergence in 2018.
The group has expanded its reach through its Boston, Chicago, Toronto, New York and London Chapters, reaching 1000 members, and has made headlines with its achievements over the years.
The London Chapter leaders announced their collaboration with the Bank of England in April 2021, where they aided the bank in promoting new best practice standards in the UK Money Markets Code (MMC) to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion.
In addition, the group has participated in conferences around the globe, pushing discussions on diversity with market participants, including at the recent Risk Management Association鈥檚 37th 麻豆传媒 Finance & Collateral Management Conference in Miami.

Bains adds: 鈥淐ontinuing to look for opportunities to lower the ladder down to help others climb up when you can, recognising that not every woman is starting from the same rung, is crucial. Meaningful progress can only come about through a collective effort.鈥�
