The Western Finance Association (WFA) is a professional society for academicians and practitioners with a scholarly interest in the development and application of research in finance. Its purpose is: *to serve as a focal point for communication among members, *to improve teaching and scholarship, and *to provide for the dissemination of information, including the holding of meetings and the support of publications. The Western Finance Association and the American Finance Association meetings are considered to be the two top general finance conferences in the world.〔http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2503333〕 The society's inaugural meeting〔http://www.jstor.org/stable/3665432〕 was held in August 1965 at the annual convention of the Western Economic Association (WEA).
