We are often contacted by women who are interested in exploring a career in private funds but have not officially made the leap yet. If you do not currently work at a Private Fund and thus are not eligible to join as a Qualifying Member, then you can join as a Community Sponsor ($4500/yr) or as part of a firm/fund corporate sponsored membership. Ask your company if they offer sponsorships or are able to expense the cost of membership.

If you are currently unemployed, and (a) your last role was at a Private Fund and (b) you intend for your next role to be at a Private Fund, then you can join as a Private Funds (Full Access or Leader) member. However, your membership will terminate upon the earlier of (a) you're accepting a job at a firm that is not a Private Fund and (b) one year. We offer Community Sponsor memberships ($4500/yr) for those who are employed at firms that are not Private Funds.

No. Only members and sponsors can attend events. Unfortunately, we cannot make any exceptions. Some events have the option for members to bring a plus 1 and the guest must be from another private fund.
