Broads Circle Founder

DARYA ALLEN-ATTAR
Broads Circle Founder and Chairwoman
Financial Advisor, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney

Darya founded Broads Circle in 2008 with the goal of creating an exclusive network of businesswomen and the professionals who work with them. The networking meetings began as invitation-only bimonthly breakfasts featuring guest speakers such as C-level women executives who shared their insights and lessons from the field. Since then, the membership has steadily grown and Broads Circle has added quarterly evening cocktail events featuring nationally recognized speakers. In an effort to enhance the networking opportunities for its members, the cocktail events have become co-ed with invitations extended to selected male executives.

With 22 years of experience in financial services, Darya's forte is strategic wealth management for families and foundations. She is a CPA and Personal Financial Specialist (PFS), and obtained her MBA from Fordham University  (where she focused on finance and portfolio management). Darya has taught as an adjunct professor of Finance at New York University and has authored many financial planning articles.

Darya is married with three children, lives in Pacific Palisades, CA, and currently serves on the Board of the Westside YMCA, in addition to her position as Broads Circle Founder and Chairman of the Board.
