President’s MessageI am honored to serve as the 2026 President of FWSF as we celebrate our 70th year.
The opportunity to lead FWSF is especially meaningful to me. When I reflect on my childhood and college years, I remember the weight of financial insecurity and its impact on my family. Through scholarships and the support of people who believed in me, I was able to forge a different path forward. Today, I carry deep gratitude, as well as a profound responsibility, to pay that support forward for the next generation.
Our theme for 2026 is “Cultivating our future.” It’s the small, meaningful actions we take today that shape what grows tomorrow. Every time you attend an event, welcome a new member, mentor a peer, share a connection, volunteer your time, or support our Scholarship Fund, you are planting a seed that will carry FWSF into its next 70 years.
Thank you for being part of this community, for showing up for one another, and for helping cultivate a future where women in finance continue to thrive.
With gratitude,
Karen Crowley
2026 President, Financial Women of San Francisco
