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.”
