We discuss the importance of representation in the financial industry and how the lack of diversity affects not only the professionals but also the clients they serve. Dana shares how her own experiences led her to start CHIP and the challenges she faced in building a platform to connect underrepresented financial professionals with clients.
Dana shares her thoughts on the cost of not taking action on issues of diversity and inclusion and the positive impact that can come from making intentional efforts to create more inclusive environments.
