Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Women Financial Advisors Forum

To Our Readers

Dear Readers,

We're very excited to announce that our blog has now been visited by over 35,000 readers!

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney started this site in the hopes of creating an online venue for women that are interested in becoming Financial Advisors at our Firm. And to allow those women to engage in lively conversation about all aspects of the job.

So far, we posted profiles of over 40 people at our firm, most of whom are women from all walks of life, who have talked to us about their own personal journeys, challenges, and successes, as well as offered you tips on how best to pursue a career as a Financial Advisor. We've also posted articles from some of the leading women career advocates.

Our site includes; recommended books, events, links to women's organization, as well as direct links to the application process for getting a job at our Firm. And we're looking forward to adding new and exciting elements to the site in the near future.

What we do hope is that you find this site helpful. Let us know what works and what doesn't by emailing us directly, or posting a comment in any of our stories.

Thanks so much for helping us grow.

Cheers from the WFAF team!
