Diversity in WIC

Diversity in WIC (DiWIC) is a community dedicated to empowering underrepresented minority groups pursuing careers in finance through connection, advocacy, and mentorship. The diversity initiative originally started as Women in WIC (WiWIC), formally launched in 2019 to create opportunities for women within finance to develop and learn professionally. In 2024, the group was expanded to foster community to broader diverse groups.
