Connecting Black Wholesalers Since 2016
Our Vision:
A financial services industry wholesaler workforce that reflects and exceeds the 12.4% African-American demographic of the United States.
We are black wholesalers, helping each other succeed by:
-
Talking through situations & opportunities; strategizing together.
-
Helping youth break into the field, while avoiding hazards & earning success.
-
We use casual discussion (text, phone, dinners) & formal development to mentor and nurture..
-
Networking with industry employers and COIs.
-
Talking candidly with our peers, mentees, and mentors.
-
If you are Black and a wholesaler or aspiring wholesaler, you are a member of this organization.
AWD is for us by us.
