Welcome to NEWPF
What is NEWPF?
Northeast Women in Public Finance is a not-for-profit professional organization for women who work in private or public sector firms or organizations that are engaged in public finance. We offer educational and networking events as well as a mentoring program with the goal of creating opportunities for our members and participants to enhance their career opportunities and share insights about issues impacting the public finance industry. We invite you to learn more about the benefits of membership and how to join.
| This International Women’s Day, NEWPF celebrates and honors the accomplishments of women in the Public Finance industry. We recognize our women leaders, trailblazers, innovators, and mentors who continue to forge ahead and promote diversity and inclusivity within our industry. We also remember today those women struggling for equal rights, who are still oppressed, and lack security, education and access to health care. Most importantly we celebrate all women everywhere who work tirelessly to empower women. |

Black History Month is a time to honor the contributions and legacy of African Americans across U.S. history and society—from activists and civil rights pioneers to today’s leaders in industry, politics, science, culture and more.
Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. This year, the Black History Month theme is “Black Resistance,” as we explore how African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing systematic oppression, in all forms, since the nation's earliest days.
Northeast Women in Public Finance continuously supports our underrepresented colleagues and works actively to bring awareness to the contributions and promote the visibility of our amazing Black peers in the industry.

Freda Johnson Award
Northeast Women in Public Finance (NEWPF) is pleased to join with The Bond Buyer in presenting our Annual “Freda Johnson Award”, an award dedicated to the efforts and contributions of women in the field of public finance. Named for Freda Johnson, whose highly successful career in public finance has been an inspiration to so many women in the municipal industry, this award recognizes women serving or who have served in public finance who exemplify the qualities that Freda brought to our industry as a “trail blazer,” leader, innovator, and mentor. Each year we honor two women who have distinguished themselves in public finance within the private and the public sector.
