The Women in Investment Network (WIIN) Conference will bring together advisors, executives, and future industry leaders for two days of education, networking, and solutions-focused conversations around wealth, leadership, and representation.

CHICAGO, IL, June 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Association of African American Financial Advisors (Quad-A) will convene its 2026 Women's Impact Initiative Network (WIIN) Conference on June 24-25, 2026, at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel, bringing together women leaders, financial professionals, and corporate executives for two days of conversations focused on leadership, wealth creation, career advancement, and well-being.

This year's conference theme, "Pathways & Power: Women Reimagining Work, Wealth & Wellness," comes at a critical time as the financial services industry faces ongoing workforce, leadership, and talent pipeline challenges.

More than 200 attendees are expected to participate in the conference, which will feature nationally recognized speakers and executives from some of the nation's leading financial institutions.

Featured speakers include:
• Sheena L. Gray, Chief Executive Officer, Quad-A
• Minda Harts, bestselling author, workplace communication expert, and keynote speaker
• Kelly Keith, CFP®, Executive Director, J.P. Morgan Wealth Management
• Nicole James Gilchrist, Vice President, Thrivent

Industry partners include J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, Wells Fargo Advisors, RBC Wealth Management, Ameriprise Financial, Edward Jones, Invesco, and Morgan Stanley.

"We cannot close the wealth gap if the people most impacted by it are absent from the rooms where financial decisions are being made. Our mission is to change that," said Sheena Gray, CEO of Quad-A. "The WIIN Conference is designed to equip women with the relationships, strategies, and opportunities necessary to thrive professionally while helping organizations build stronger, more inclusive leadership pipelines."

The conference will explore topics including leadership development, wealth-building strategies, workplace culture, career growth, wellness, and the future of women in financial services.

As firms across the industry work to attract, develop, and retain top talent, WIIN serves as a national platform for meaningful dialogue and actionable solutions that support long-term workforce development and economic empowerment.

Media are invited to interview speakers and attendees, speak with Quad-A leadership, and capture video and photography at the event.
