Spring Forum
2022
In our Spring Forum on May 14th, we hosted an audience Fireside Chat with Mr. Kyriacou, who outlined his experiences in the Mount Sinai health system, a hospital network spanning across eight hospitals in the five boroughs, and his role as a business person in the medical field. Our Fireside Chat with Ms. Do followed, where she answered questions about her experience in the finance world as a female and offered advice to our members. We then enjoyed a presentation by Ms. Schrader where she shared her career experiences and journey from graphic arts to working in the green sector. Last but not least, Mr. Caltabiano spoke about how we can promote financial literacy, highlighting the importance of personal finance education.
Members can find a recording of the forum on the members’ page here.
