Sigalit Ben Hayoun, Head of the Tel Aviv University Alumni Organization, said:
"The Women and Investments Conference is a new initiative by the Alumni Organization. In recent years, we have developed a variety of dedicated programs for our alumnae, including International Women's Day events, the establishment of the Women Leaders Alumni Forum initiated by Daphna Meitar Nechmad, Chair of the Tel Aviv University Board of Governors, together with Ella Alkalay, Chair of IBI Mutual Funds, and our annual Women's Leadership Conference, which will take place this year on March 24 for the third consecutive year. Today's event on women and investments is another important milestone in these efforts. It is important to us to nurture and strengthen our alumni community as a whole, and in particular our community of alumnae, who make up 55% of all Tel Aviv University graduates."
