ing and that’s important.”
In an industry that continues to be dominated by
men, it’s rare to find so many women in leadership
roles with the depth and breadth of financial knowl-
edge and expertise in one firm. The women financial
professionals at Bridgewater created Her Wealth to
be the catalyst for women to create new ways of
relating with, and managing, their wealth.
Over 100 women from the Washington, D.C. region
attended the exclusive kick-off event which featured
keynote speaker, Olivia Mellan, renowned money
coach, psychotherapist, and author of Money Har-
mony.
“Her Wealth is a wonderful project and so neces-
sary,” said Mellan. “Women financial advisors tend
to be more tuned into women’s needs. It’s a win-win
for everyone.”
As part of this initiative, BridgewaterWealth launched
their Her Wealth website to educate women about
relevant financial topics. It will connect women with
other women who know how to build wealth and
are passionate about sharing their expertise so that
all women have the tools to be stewards of their
own and their families’ wealth. Please see website

The capstone of Her Wealth is their annual scholar-
ship which they established to pay it forward. With
women making up just eight percent of all financial
advisors, the Her Wealth scholarship will advance
more women in the financial services industry.
