Financial Women's Association (FWA) Singapore was founded in 2001 by Tan Su Shan and a group of like-minded women from banking, seeking to develop a community that will develop and encourage females in the industry. Borne out of meeting room huddles, FWA Singapore has grown to become one of the most prominent local associations that champion the next generation of women workforce. The association has approximately 50 financial corporate members and 300 individual members. The scope of activities has also expanded from “bring your own lunch” events to include networking events, an annual mentoring programme by industry leaders, as well as social impact activities that drive education, advancement and recognition of women in finance and beyond. The core mission of FWA Singapore is to empower women, harness community support and accelerate social change.
