Financial Woman of the Year Event

November 2011

On October 6, 2011 the FWA celebrated its 16th Annual Financial Woman of the Year, Kathryn Hall. Katie is the founder, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Hall Capital Partners LLC. As CEO and CIO, Katie and her team at Hall Capital Partners manage and direct approximately $22 billion in investment assets
for advisory clients and pooled vehicle investors.

The Financial Woman of the Year Award applauds Katie’s outstanding leadership in financial services, her active participation in the community, and her unwavering commitment to the advancement of women.

During her remarks Katie defined “taking risk” as being willing to operate in an uncertain environment, which truthfully could encompass every aspect of our daily lives. But she specifically highlighted a person’s willingness to “enter the fray” and expose oneself to a very public form of success or failure. By “resiliency” she means the ability to pick yourself up and learn from your mistakes. Resiliency and its close corollary, a willingness to change, have been crucial to her career.

Katie applauded the 2012 Scholarship Recipients: “They are great examples of individuals can help make the world a better place.”
