Why We Sadly Still Need Women’s History Month and What It Means to Me

In my career, I have enjoyed the good fortune of being honored multiple times as a Woman of Achievement, Woman of Accomplishment, Woman Making a Difference, etc.; I have been on many lists of the top women lawyers and top women leaders. For each of those honors and more, I am extraordinarily grateful.

And yet, I’ve been on so many top women’s lists that it frustrates me because I believe there should never be a women’s list. We don't have a man’s list because, frankly, every list is a man's list.

Mentoring is an Important Part of My Professional Life

The word mentoring comes from the Greek word meaning enduring. It usually is defined as a relationship between an individual (the mentor) usually older, always more experienced, who helps and guides another’s development (the mentee).

I have been both a mentor and mentee in my life and hope to continue to be both. There is value in both roles.
