The WFE’s Women Leaders initiative aims to shine the spotlight on some of the talented and gifted women in our industry. The [industry initiative](https://focus.world-exchanges.org/ceo-letter/ceo-letter-march) drew almost 60 nominations from every corner of the world as the WFE’s global membership put forward their talented existing, and future, leaders.

The challenges of the past year have been extraordinary, but their determination to keep the system robust and resilient, while ensuring the safety of their staff should make us all believe again in the power and potential of regulated, public markets as we collectively seek to form the world that will emerge from the lessons of this crisis.’’ The WFE also thanks the 9 members of the Selection Committee who are themselves exceptional industry leaders.
