The Women Working in WealthSM Award was created to showcase and celebrate women who have rolled up their sleeves to advance women in financial services through mentorship, sponsorship, and advocacy. The American College of Financial Services presents the award to a mission-driven and passionate female professional who is making a significant impact in financial services. The College is proud to announce Leslie Susanne Calkins, MSFS, CLU®, ChFC®, CASL®, RICP®, CAP® as the 2024 recipient.

Leslie has a passion for sharing and giving back. She utilizes the knowledge she gained from The College to better serve her community through her career at State Farm. Education and philanthropy were key values in her family, which continue to inspire her today.

Since receiving her MSFS degree, Leslie is proud to share how each course has made her more confident, knowledgeable, and able to help others in so many ways. She continues to give back by serving as an annual senior counselor at the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. This leadership conference changes the lives of high school students in Colorado and Wyoming and is the highlight of her year.
