Dear WISE Members, Sponsors, and Friends,
2024 was a transformative year for WISE as we expanded our reach in financial empowerment and education. We welcomed new members, earned recognition from JPMorgan Chase as a Community Icon, and deepened our impact through key initiatives.
Empowering Women & Girls
We kicked off the year with a record-breaking webinar featuring Jean Chatzky, followed by a career panel with Cal State Fullerton’s Women’s Leadership Network that inspired the next generation. Our financial education workshops for Girl Scouts and Girls Inc. equipped young women with essential money skills, and we proudly awarded six scholarships to Girls Inc. College Bound participants.
Expanding Our Reach
We strengthened our online resources, launched the WISE Ambassador Program with 45 leaders, and continued our Tearing Down the Pink Wall series, which drew over 250 attendees at UC Irvine. Looking ahead, we’re exploring an exciting new app to connect women with pro bono financial planners—further breaking barriers to financial empowerment.
Honoring Our Legacy
In memory of our founder, Victoria Collins, we remain dedicated to expanding opportunities for women and girls. For 27 years, WISE has provided free financial education, and with your support, we’ll continue to grow this mission in 2025 and beyond.
With appreciation,
Angela Z. Dailey, CEO
