FWA in New Jersey
Who We Are
The FWA-New Jersey Committee sponsors networking and professional development programs, some offering CPE credit, throughout northern New Jersey. To strengthen our agenda, we are developing partnerships with the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, Financial Executives International, New Jersey Women Business Entrepreneurs, the Institute of Management Accountants and academic institutions such as Seton Hall University. Members of the committee also work with several New Jersey colleges, including Seton Hall University, Caldwell College, and William Paterson University to help young adults understand today’s business issues.
We schedule breakfast, lunchtime and evening programs throughout northern New Jersey. The committee meets in person and, for convenience, by conference call. If you’d like to know more about our committee, contact one of our committee co-chairs. |
