In honor of Women's History month, I'm excited to do the second annual Girl Banker Challenge! This year, I'm offering a few extras to those who register thanks to a collaboration with The Twiggs Group.
What is the point of the challenge?
This last year presented a variety of obstacles, specifically for women in the workforce. Some of us faced working from home while navigating through virtual schooling for our kids, while others worked on the front lines daily and juggled finding child care amidst the pandemic, among many other things. We all went into a form of crisis mode and worked through challenges that we weren't exactly trained for. Forget work stress- we are all knocking on burnout's door!
Last year, the Girl Banker Challenge involved highlighting women in banking with a social post and the use of the #theGirlBankerChallenge hashtag. This year, we are taking it a step further and focusing on three areas of empowerment over a 30 day period:
You mentioned perks...

How do I register?
Those interested in registering can do so by completing THIS FORM. Once you sign up, engage with others in the Girl Banker Facebook Group, a private group for women in banking, and on other social media platforms using the hashtag #theGirlBankerChallenge.
Our hope is that you'll find time for YOU, learn something new, meet someone new, and empower other women during this challenge. We can't wait to engage with all of you!

This is a great idea! I look forward to participating!!
Sign me up!
Please sign me up! I am a universal banker and think so much of the spotlight stories are 100% true! Great way to empower women not only on March 8th, but all month long! ♀️✊
You had me at “reset after a tumultuous year”. Let’s do this! Self care FTW!
I’d love to take the Challenge!
Looking forward to the challenge!
This is FANTASTIC! I have been in banking for over 34 years. I have seen many changes and some of the best have been women in the banking industry. For many years, there were not many women in leadership roles in banking. As a “C” suite executive, it was certainly lonely and challenging in a room full of men. BUT not anymore!!! Women are becoming more accepted for our many admirable traits and rewarded with inclusion. We still have a long way to go. Management is still dominated by men, but knowing that we have groups like this to help develop and mentor women is so wonderful! Kudos to you and your team of leaders!
looking forward to seeing women come together for this challenge
I’m a teller supervisor from a small city in southeastern Illinois. We stayed open during this entire pandemic. I don’t think it’s right for frontline bankers to be lower down on the list to receive the vaccine. After all, how did CDC think everyone could receive their stimulus funds if tellers were not there to cash the checks?
