Women's History Month at the NYSE

During March, we celebrated women’s achievements and highlighted the advancement of women across our community.

Twice daily, notable guests join us on the Bell Podium to mark the opening and closing of the day's trading, and we welcomed Women in ETFs, Bakkt (NYSE:BKKT), The Women’s Business Collaborative, Organon (NYSE:OGN), BNY Mellon (NYSE:BK), The Diversity Woman’s Elite 100, Women in Derivatives, and Citi (NYSE:C) (to name a few) for initiatives tied to Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.

We hosted a breakfast for women in finance with guest speakers from across our organization. Hope Jarkowski, NYSE General Counsel, discussed the NYSE’s collaborative work with the SEC. Carolyn Saacke, Chief Operating Officer for NYSE Capital Markets, explained the role we play in providing entrepreneurs and investors with a centralized platform to raise capital and improve opportunities. Lastly, Elizabeth King, ICE’s President, ESG & Chief Regulatory Officer presented focus areas for 2022, including the continued growth of the NYSE Board Advisory Council and the NYSE Sustainability Advisory Council.

Social and digital content across our platforms included NYSE host Judy Shaw with Wendy Wong, Head of Sustainable Investment Partnerships at New York Life Investments, discussing the IQ Engender Equality ETF in Floor Talk, as well as Mary Callahan Erdoes, CEO of JPMorgan Chase's Asset & Wealth Management, who discussed the importance of elevating women in the workplace on NYSE’s Work This Way franchise.

Finally, the NYSE social team created a #breakthebias series where female visionaries were asked a series of questions, including “what is one thing people can do in the workplace to #breakthebias towards women?” They responded with some powerful statements:

Strong leadership was on display throughout the month, as female leaders shared their perspectives and inspired us with their strength of character and clarity of purpose. Together, we can #breakthebias.
