In case you missed it – UFSC AABFP
With all the happenings in Washington, D.C. right now, you might be wishing you attended the Urban Financial Services Coalition (UFSC) African American Briefing for Financial Professionals (#AABFP) in Washington DC recently!
In case you missed it, the UFSC #AABFP gave you an in person, “behind the curtain” look at some of the national and global effects on your Financial Services job and the Financial Services Industry (Accounting, Banking, Compliance, Credit Card, Financial Planning, Fintech, Forex, Insurance, Marketing, Real Estate, Regulation, Securities, Technology, etc.). You also came away with phone numbers of contacts who are at the top of their “game” across the country.
We are grateful for the work that Chairman Ditu Kasuyi and the #AABFP committee put in to produce an event that provided rich opportunities for the attendees!
