The 25 Most Powerful Women in Banking

The celebration dinner honoring the Most Powerful Women in Banking and Finance this year was the largest ever, with nearly 600 people attending.

It was an evening ofe community and warmth as speakers-including Wells Fargo's Carrie Tolstedt, Harris Bank's Yasmin Bates-Brown, and U.S. Bank's Diane Thormodsgard-shared the private and public victories that shaped their careers.

The honorees also enjoyed a wine tasting and the National Leadership Workshop preceeding the gala. Some proceeds from the events will help establish a college scholarship, the U.S. Banker Young Women's Leadership Award.
