The University of Southern Mississippi's Investment Portfolio will be student-led with guidance from the annually elected board of directors. By design, Financial Management Association (FMA) and Investment Club (IC) are intended to work closely together. FMA will hold weekly meetings that revolve around a presentation, discussion, and questions. Biweekly, Investment Club will host a meeting directly following FMA. Because the club's holdings are not intended to be short-term or cash cows, the change in the market should not warrant weekly reviews of the portfolio or proposals. IC members are expected to attend the FMA meeting that precedes the IC meeting to stay current on financial trends in the market or broad concepts that could be beneficial. The attendance of IC members will be treated as guests by FMA.
By keeping FMA and IC fundamentally and structurally separate, we keep the scope for potential members broad without preventing from membership those who may want to be involved in one, not the other, for any reason. As the two respective clubs gain momentum, there is potential for a need to combine the two groups, which is an option. However, at ground zero, the current student officer group has determined it necessary to gain more feedback from students, as current impressions of the student body are that FMA and IC are not the same and do not hold the same appeal to everyone, respectively.

Other efforts have included outreach to local schools and girl scout troops, Science Fair support, and fund-raising activities. Our organization is truly based on what our members want to see, so we are constantly evolving and growing to best suit our group. We strive to serve our community by making STEM an open, inclusive, and accessible environment for all genders and races. Our vision for WiSE is to not only be a safe place for women in STEM, but also to help our members become strong, confident, and to push against the systematic patriarchy commonly found in STEM.
