About Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance Milwaukee Chapter
Since 1954, the Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance Milwaukee Chapter has been a welcoming community for women accounting and finance professionals at every stage of their careers. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the chapter traces its roots to the American Society of Women Accountants, founded nationally in 1938 to expand opportunities for women in accounting and finance fields. The organization's mission centers on enabling women to achieve their full personal, professional, and economic potential while contributing meaningfully to their profession's future development. The Milwaukee Chapter reflects this commitment through its diverse membership, which includes students, seasoned professionals, CPAs, non-CPAs, accountants, bookkeepers, business owners, and retirees. This rich mix of backgrounds and experiences creates a supportive environment where members mentor one another, exchange ideas, and share career insights across different industries and specializations. The chapter actively supports the next generation of accounting and financial professionals while fostering leadership development among current members. Monthly gatherings combine networking, professional dining, and continuing education in a collaborative setting that honors the contributions women make to the accounting profession. By bringing together professionals from public accounting firms, corporate finance departments, non-profits, and government agencies, the Milwaukee Chapter creates a community where women can build lasting professional relationships, develop leadership skills, and thrive in their accounting and finance careers.
