About
In 2010, NCRW launched an initiative in partnership with Investing in Girls (IIG), a joint venture to help high school girls from a broad range of backgrounds and communities develop interests and careers in the financial services industry. Ms. Mehra founded IIG in partnership with her mentor, Dune Thorne, Managing Director at Silver Bridge Advisors. Click here to read the press release [2]
Mission Statement
The mission of IIG is to prevent 'pipeline leak' - the attrition of a diverse pool of young women who enter college without choosing to pursue studies in math and finance. The IIG ecosystem, comprised of educators, like-minded mentors, and industry leaders will serve to foster an interest in finance for girls and help them build strong career paths.
