DEI Initiative for Treasury and Finance

AFP Collaborate, A Community Network for Finance & Treasury Professionals

Partner: J.P. Morgan
Contributing Partner: Fitch Ratings

The AFP DEI Initiative was created to introduce treasury and finance careers to underrepresented communities.

As the profession rapidly evolves, there is a growing need for professionals with diverse skills, mindsets, and backgrounds. At AFP, we know every individual carries a wealth of knowledge within and when we create more seats at the table and more opportunities for your voice to be heard, that is how we propel the profession into the future.

Our goal is to empower young professionals with professional development, skills building, ongoing training, and continuous learning so that they can lead rewarding careers in treasury and finance.
