Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann,

Please mark your calendar for the FWA's 15th Annual Financial Woman of the Year Luncheon , this year honoring Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann, President, Citibank California! The luncheon will take place Thursday, September 30th. The purpose of this event is three-fold; to raise awareness about the successes of women in finance, to honor an outstanding financial leader in the Bay Area, and to generate funds for the FWA scholarship program.
