Description:

Join Business Institutions for lunch and a casual conversation with our guest speaker, Maura Cunningham. Maura is dedicated to closing the racial and gender wealth gaps as well as the opportunity gap that exists today. Determined to make this vision a reality, Maura combined her entrepreneurial skills and her passion for working with teenage students and she went on to found Rock The Street, Wall Street, (RTSWS) in 2012. RTSWS sparks girls’ enthusiasm for finance at a critical age and makes them aware of the societal benefits personal financial knowledge and math-oriented careers can have. Maura enjoyed a robust career on Wall Street for more than 25 years with Merrill Lynch, Lincoln Financial Group and Capital Group. This included her professional rise on the trading floor and responsibility in Capital Markets, Real Estate Syndication, Mortgage-Backed Securities, and financial and wealth management. Maura then created a way to harness the power of understanding math, investing, and finance to reach the next generations of girls which in turn increases their proactive training and career selection to include investment, financial and technology roles. 

Rock The Street, Wall Street (RTSWS) is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing financial and investment education among young women. Our mission is to empower and support women from high school through college, fostering their transition into successful careers in finance.
