That’s why Ameriprise is on a mission to ensure more women know and consider the benefits of a career as a financial advisor,” said Brenda Vaughn, Vice President of Supervision and Women’s Strategy Co-Lead at Ameriprise Financial. “Our Career Compass event series provides an excellent platform for women to learn about the rewarding professional possibilities at Ameriprise and within the broader industry.”

Introduced in the fall of 2020, the Ameriprise “Career Compass” events have helped hundreds of women attendees learn more about career opportunities in the financial services industry.
