For over 175 years, New York Life has been a strong proponent of women in the workforce. From hiring its first female employee in 1885 to appointing its first female director in 1947, New York Life has been a trailblazer in its commitment to diversity and inclusivity. Today, women make up 58% of New York Life’s workforce and 36% of its board.

NAIFA is proud to partner with New York Life to help American families achieve financial security. New York Life’s own Evelyn Gellar has been a loyal NAIFA member since 2017. She now serves on NAIFA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council and is a member of NAIFA’s National Board of Trustees. Gellar is passionate about helping female entrepreneurs in the financial services industry and is an asset to both NAIFA and New York Life. Click here to find out more about New York Life’s history of supporting women through the years.
