In todays look back down Memory Lane, Traders Magazine shares the photos and memories of the 2012 Wall Street Women Awards winners and gala.
Former Traders Magazine publisher Ken Heath said back in 2012 that women were breaking old barriers and setting new standards of excellence in capital markets. This night, Heath and a panel of industry judges presented the best of the best, women who have excelled as trailblazers, mentors, philanthropists and leaders on Wall Street as well as one firm that has set a benchmark for diversity to the public.
The event, postponed due to weather, was held at The Waldorf Astoria in New York.
The individuals were nominated in eight categories. Candidates were recommended by their peers in the trading community who submitted information on a variety of criteria, including responsibilities, financial results and organizational success, on each nominee.
The 2012 award-winners were selected from a field of more than 70 nominees by an independent advisory board comprised of seven established, female leaders from the industry.
