Community Outreach
Co-Chaired by Board members Anna Ewing (anna.ewing@nasdaqomx.com) and Mayra Sacco (mayra.sacco@bnymellon.com), this committee runs the WBC's charitable giving program, as well as the scholarship, mentoring, internship/jobs and testimonial programs. The primary focus of these programs is to support promising young women who are interested in building a career in finance and business. Committee work includes working directly with high school students, liaising with charitable organizations and local high schools, coordinating scholarship and mentoring programs, brainstorming about how to expand our efforts and more. The time commitment can range anywhere from 2-10 hours per month (including meetings) depending upon your role. Meetings can be attended in person or over the telephone.
