STA is thrilled to announce the program for our 9th Annual Women in Finance Symposium!

We’re excited to hear from Keynote Speaker Ashley Banfield, Co-Head of Global Execution Strategy at Fidelity Investments, who will be interviewed by STA Board Advisor Rebecca Lahar, Vice President, Equity Trader at T. Rowe Price. A well-respected thought leader with a deep knowledge of equity markets, we look forward to welcoming Ashley to the stage in Orlando.

We’d also like to congratulate our 2024 Woman Mentor of the Year Award recipient, Patty Schuler, Senior Vice President of Business Development of BOX Options! Patty is a past Affiliate President and STA Governor and was instrumental in the launch of the STA WIF initiative, serving on its original committee as the affiliate representative for Chicago. Her contributions to the WIF cause over the years have served as an inspiration for women throughout the industry.

Join us in congratulating Ashley and Patty as we honor their accomplishments as market experts, mentors, and inspirations for the next generation of women in finance. The WIF Symposium will take place on Wednesday, September 18th at 11:30am as part of our 91st Annual Market Structure Conference. Register today and secure your spot for this exciting event!
