Falcon Rappaport & Berkman Launches the Women’s Initiative to Advance Equity and Leadership

On March 11, Falcon Rappaport & Berkman proudly marked the launch of the FRB Women’s Initiative, a firmwide effort dedicated to recognizing, supporting, and advancing the women whose talent, leadership, and dedication continue to drive the firm’s growth and success.

While the Women’s Initiative has existed informally at FRB for the past several years, the firm’s continued expansion and the addition of so many accomplished women across its offices made this the right moment to formally elevate and celebrate the initiative. The launch reflects FRB’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace culture, supporting professional leadership and career advancement, and ensuring that every member of the firm has the opportunity to thrive.

To commemorate the occasion, FRB hosted luncheons simultaneously across its New York City, Rockville Centre, Mount Kisco, Hauppauge, and California offices, with additional team members joining virtually from around the country. The event brought colleagues together to honor the remarkable women of FRB and reflect on the meaningful contributions they make to the firm every day.

The program was both inspiring and personal. Several women of FRB shared their own experiences and perspectives, speaking candidly about some of the unique challenges women face in the workplace, as well as the importance of mentorship, visibility, and building an environment where individuals can succeed on their own terms. Their reflections reinforced the importance of creating a workplace culture that not only acknowledges these experiences, but actively works to address them in thoughtful and meaningful ways.

The firm was also honored to welcome Terri Eagle as its featured guest speaker. Terri is the best-selling author of The Champagne CEO, a 5x CEO, and the Founder & Chief Business Strategist of Terri Eagle Group. Drawing on her extensive leadership experience, she shared valuable insights on leadership, growth, and building successful organizations through courage, confidence, and collaboration.

The response to the launch was overwhelmingly positive, with both women and men across the firm expressing enthusiasm for the initiative and its future. That feedback served as a powerful reminder of why programs like this matter. Recognizing the contributions of women at FRB, while also creating space for meaningful conversations and support, is integral to the firm’s culture and continued evolution.

Falcon Rappaport & Berkman looks forward to building on the momentum of this launch and expanding the FRB Women’s Initiative through future programming, events, and opportunities for mentorship and professional development. As the firm continues to grow, so too does its commitment to remaining a welcoming, supportive, and empowering place for everyone.
