Being part of a community of young professionals that get along and build trust in one another is a powerful thing, and the YWSBA does well to connect people in this way. Alongside a busy work and home life, new and varied conversations out at great venues is something I look forward to and provides a great platform for building longstanding relationships. YWSBA is a great facilitator of this and continues to provide me with valuable connections for the future which I can make use of professionally through my role at Boutique Advisers.
