Clare Riva Selected for Women in Public Finance Emerging Leaders Council

Pacifica is pleased to announce that Clare Riva was recently selected for the inaugural Women in Public Finance (WPF) Emerging Leaders Council. The council is comprised of early career public finance professionals working in the legal and financial industries, and in the public sector. The council will collaborate with WPF’s board of directors to help shape the future of the organization.

Founded in 1997, WPF is a national organization that supports women working in the municipal bond industry through networking, educational, and career-building opportunities, including mentorship and an annual scholarship program.

An attorney in Pacifica’s Public Law and Finance Practice Group, Clare is the most recent firm representative to serve WPF. Alison Benge was the founding member and initial president of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of WPF, and Deanna Gregory is the current Vice-President and Treasurer for the Chapter.

Everyone at Pacifica congratulates Clare on her selection for WPF’s Emerging Leaders Council.
