This week, Laura Baker represented Pender at the CFA Society Vancouver event in celebration of International Women’s Day 2026. The event was a collaboration between CFA Society Vancouver and VersaFi, where Laura also serves as a co-chair. The luncheon brought together women from across Vancouver to celebrate their achievements and strengthen professional connections. The gathering was dedicated to honoring the strength, resilience, and collective accomplishments of women in the investment industry, while providing an opportunity for guests to network with peers. At Pender, we recognize the importance of initiatives like these that support connection, mentorship, and the advancement of women in our industry, and we are proud to be part of these conversations.
