Clearing the Path for a More Inclusive Future
Opening Doors was launched by MMI to do precisely that—clear the path for the next generation of historically marginalized professionals, leaders, and innovators in financial services. Through a series of curated events, Opening Doors aims to boost the efforts of the Gateway Foundation by raising funds, bringing people together, and celebrating the individuals and companies that dedicate themselves to the mission of diversifying our industry.
