July 18 was a monumental day for payments and fintech women across the Milwaukee area as the Wnet Milwaukee Chapter was officially launched! Plans for this Chapter Kick-Off Party were in the works for almost four months before this event took place and the local women really showed up for it!

 

Hosted at the Milwaukee Athletic Club in downtown Milwaukee and sponsored by Fiserv, co-chairs Erin Barbeau, Erika Smith and Kassie Fox-Delaney wanted to give women and men in Milwaukee the opportunity to reconnect in person and learn more about Wnet. 30 women came out from various companies in the area including FIS, Fiserv, Rectangle Health, Associated Bank, JPMorgan Chase and the MKE Tech Hub Coalition. It was an evening full of lively conversation, LinkedIn connections and pure joy due to being back in person together and rallying around a cause that everyone at the event strongly believes in and supports.

 

The Wnet Milwaukee Chapter knows this is just the beginning of the impact they will make in the Milwaukee market and in the Payments industry. The enthusiastic team looks forward to hosting many more events in the future to keep strengthening this chapter and providing its members with unique networking, development and giving-back opportunities.

 

Thank you again to everyone who came out – it was a great event and the team is proud to have officially kicked of the Wnet Milwaukee Chapter!
