Cambridge Community  of Women

The Cambridge women-inspired initiative is about creating an inclusive industry for women. It’s about bringing even more women into our industry, helping more women move into leadership roles, and empowering more women to seize opportunity and thrive. Cambridge is focused on supporting independent financial professionals dedicated to serving their clients.

Cambridge Women Financial Professionals

Cambridge women financial professionals are represented in Cambridge’s Circle of Excellence, Premier Club, Signature Club, and Leader’s Club – and hold roles on many Cambridge Advisory Councils. These independent women financial professionals position Cambridge among the top firms in the industry for the percentage of women financial professionals in the industry.

Cambridge Women Events

Cambridge’s next Community of Women Forum will be January 12-14, 2026, at the Wild Dunes Resort in South Carolina.
