Celebrate Excellence in Financial Journalism: Honoring Leonard Sloane at the Financial Follies
The first Financial Follies took place in 1938. Since then, it has become a must-attend event within the financial journalism industry that has taken place annually (with the exception of a few years during WWII and COVID). We look forward to seeing you at our 82nd Follies gala in 2025!
The 82nd Financial Follies gala will honor Leonard Sloane, who spent the bulk of his career as a personal finance reporter and columnist at The New York Times, and who continues to write about investing as a freelance writer for the The Wall Street Journal as a nonagerian. He will be recognized for his dedication to the NYFWA and his unprecedented run performing in 50 consecutive Financial Follies.
Sloane, who began his career as a financial journalist in 1956 as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, will be awarded the “Citation of Appreciation for Distinguished Service to the NYFWA” at this year’s Financial Follies.
