To our valued WIIIN Community,
We hope you enjoyed your summer season!
Reflecting on the year as we transition into fall, we feel so grateful to our WIIIN members and volunteers for their ongoing support of our community. From 5 in-person events through the summer of 2025 to a total of 14 so far this year (including our very first series of golf lessons!), we continue to feel the indispensable value of our engaged network. Thank you so much to all our speakers and attendees!
Our Annual Luncheon is now top of mind for our WIIIN volunteers - and we are excited to welcome our members and friends on October 22nd for a truly interesting discussion. See below for the big reveal on this year's flagship event! We hope to see you all there. |

Thank you to those who joined us for our Spring/Summer 2026 events. We loved seeing so many of you! Below are scenes from events we hosted these last few months, including a discussion on the current state of private markets, a mentorship event, a professional development seminar, golf clinics, and networking happy hours across Southern California. Each gathering was a fun opportunity for us to both connect and learn as a community. The Mentorship Program continues; please look for details on an upcoming event soon! |
