Welcome to the San Francisco Chapter of FENG, the Financial Executives Networking Group. Our goal is to become the premier networking resource for finance professionals in the Bay Area. We provide ongoing career management services and help our members with job search and transition support through networking and continuing education events. Our motto is "you are either in between jobs or in between job searches." Either way, come join us and build your network.

One distinguishing feature of our organization is the support available from the National FENG organization. New technologies, particularly the organizations website and adaptation to changing technology, have made networking an even more powerful tool. Networking is a proven and time-tested method, providing the single best source of business and job opportunities.
