Alyssa Moeder, a Merrill Lynch veteran and Barron’s Hall of Fame financial advisor, started a small women’s group at her office in New York City 20 years ago. Initially, it was just the women on Moeder’s floor, but she wanted to get to know the newer young women in the office. She organized informal networking sessions on a monthly basis to foster connections and build relationships. Over time, the group grew significantly and expanded into a national network. Today, it continues to thrive and provide support for women in the finance industry.
