Kathleen Godfrey becomes president of national trade group
LATHAM BUSINESSWOMAN TO HEAD TRADE ASSOCIATION --The Business Review (Albany)
Women in Insurance and Financial Services (WIFS) has picked a local businesswoman as its next national president.
Kathleen Godfrey, owner of Godfrey Financial Associates Inc. of Latham, will assume the position of president at the association’s conference in San Antonio, Texas, this week. The conference runs from Oct. 22-24.
Godfrey started the business 15 years ago after her husband died.
“It’s hard enough to survive in the financial industry as a female,” she said, “but operating independently without the support of a parent company made it lonely at times as well.”
Godfrey said she found support early in her career by attending a WIFS meeting and has been helped over the years by WIFS mentors.
“Now I’m in a position to help other professional women nationwide in achieving their dreams,” she said.
