Dear Hannah,

I'm thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2016 MSCPA Women to Watch Awards! With many deserving nominations, the selection panel was flooded with remarkable success stories, and narrowing the nominations down to just six winners was certainly a difficult job. In the end, winners were selected based on a mix of their leadership in their organizations, mentorship, contributions to their communities, as well as their dedication to promoting women’s leadership in the accounting profession. Congratulations to this year’s winners:

Emerging Leaders
Jeanie I. Gorlovsky-Schepp, CPA, manager, AAFCPAs
Laura J. Gregoriadis, CPA, principal, DiCicco, Gulman & Company
Jessica Platt, CPA, MST, principal in charge - New Bedford, CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP

Experienced Leaders

Pamela Kelleher, CPA, partner, EY
Zara Muradali, CPA, MST, life science partner, business tax services, KPMG LLP

Keynote speakers will include Betsy Meyers, leadership author and speaker, and Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, CPA, CGMA, chairman, AICPA board of directors.

Have a great weekend!
