What we’re about
We are dedicated to the scientific exploration and promotion of diversity in STEM, finance, local, state and federal government, economics, and related fields.

We actively promote events and meetings that advance diversity, particularly emphasizing the financial and economic sectors.
Our group connects passionate finance professionals, scientists, engineers, economists, technologists, and mathematicians committed to expanding participation and enhancing representation across Finance, Science, Technology, Economics, Engineering, and Mathematics (FSTEEM).
