She stated, “We chose Gracie Manson because of its historical significance.” Gracie Mansion is located on the banks of the East River at 88th Street. It was originally called home by Andrew Gracie, a wealthy New York merchant and, since 1942, by New York City’s mayors. Gracie Mansion is one of the most celebrated landmarks in New York City and enjoys a fascinating history. It has magnificent views along the East River promenade from the Mansion Gardens.

Ms. Fisher stated, “Metro NYC NAHU meets on a regular basis to keep up with the changes in the financial and insurance industry and to share new ideas. These are complex industries and can be difficult for consumers to navigate without professional assistance. We felt that Gracie Mansion was the perfect place to meet since the changes in the financial and insurance world are indeed historical”.
About Women In Insurance & Financial Services
The Women Life Underwriters Conference is an independent insurance industry organization with the support of its members and corporate sponsors.
In 1988 WLUC refocused its direction. By keeping the WLUC acronym and adding the tag line "Women in Insurance and Financial Services" it encompassed all women in the insurance and financial services industry. New emphasis was directed towards the four initiatives of individual membership, corporate membership, education, and public awareness.
In 2000 the WLUC acronym was replaced by the true acronym and WIFS – Women in Insurance & Financial Services moved forward with a renewed emphasis on the membership, education, and corporate and public initiatives.
In 2010, WIFS reached over 1200 members, and continues to grow by leaps and bounds. To keep up with the growth, WIFS established new headquarters in Albany, NY. At a time when many industry associations saw their numbers fall, WIFS finds itself a path of growing member membership, new programming, innovative regional events, and greater member value.
In 2011, WIFS celebrated its 75th anniversary as an organization. With 30 local chapters and a true presence in the industry, the secret is out: WIFS is an Association on the rise, and the only place for the industry's successful women to come together. On December 27, 2011, WIFS became the first women's financial organization to ring the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Click here to view the video and watch history in the making!
In 2012, WIFS reengineered its partner and member recognition programs, launched a mentorship program and conducted an industry-wide survey on the factors that influence the success of women in the industry. Survey results were highlighted by GAMA International Journal in the captivating article, “Women in Financial Services: How to Succeed in Business”.
WIFS mission is to mission to attract, develop and advance women in the financial and insurance industries. Each fall WIFS holds a conference for its members where the top woman in their fields are recognized and come together to help other women succeed.
