Celebrating a Year of Success and Growth at RTSWS
Dear RTSWS Community,
As the year comes to a close, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each of you - teachers, volunteers, supporters and sponsors. Together, you have helped empower young women across the US, UK, and Canada developing financial and investment acumen, confidence and leadership skills shaping futures.
During this season inspired by our students' dedication and hard work, we reflect on this year’s achievements. We are proud to share the 2024 RTSWS Honor Roll.
Warm wishes for a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year,
Ashley Leftwich, RTSWS CEO

Bringing Finance to Life: Year-End Office Field Trips
As the year wraps up, RTSWS students participated in inspiring office visits with corporate sponsors, supporters and hosts such as AIMCO, Goldman Sachs Ayco, Ninety One, Broadridge, Janus Henderson, Financial Women of San Francisco and Women’s Bond Club. These experiences across the US, UK, and Canada helped connect classroom learning to real-world careers.
From panel discussions and financial workshops to case studies, students gained invaluable insights into navigating the finance industry. With their support, RTSWS students are pursuing degrees in finance, economics, and STEM at five times the national average for women—a testament to the impact of these opportunities.
A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers and corporate partners for making these transformative experiences possible. Together, we’re shaping the future of women in finance!
