The All Stars Academy, one of the Financial Alliance for Women’s most highly valued programs, is an immersive and holistic learning program that helps financial services professionals develop the critical tools they need to serve women effectively. The Academy features experienced guest lecturers from members with strong Women-Centered Strategies who share their expertise on building a sustainable program that successfully taps into the female economy.

Hosted by Bank al Etihad, Jordan, the Financial Alliance for Women’s acclaimed All Stars Academy program took place from February 1 to 5, 2026, in Amman, Jordan.
