Thank you to CalCPA for hosting an incredible Women's Leadership Forum this week. I took a ton of notes, heard from fantastic speakers on relevant, timely topics including AI, communication, emotional intelligence and DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging), celebrated some incredible women in the accounting profession (congratulations to Cameron Martinez, CPA from Baker Tilly US, Emily Egkan, CPA, MST from Withum and Kathy A. Johnson, CPA, CFF, CGMA, ABV, MBA from J.S. Held LLC on being recognized for your achievements), and best of all, connected with many QuickFee customers and made new friends as well. At the very heart of this event was relationship building and every minute spent there was well invested. Thank you to Denise LeDuc Froemming, Meredith Johnson, CPA, CFP®, Natalie Quan, Denise Bethel, MBA, Ghazal Zahedi and Amina Kasumov, MBA, PMP for not only giving me the opportunity to moderate the AI panel, but also for hosting an incredibly valuable event. It may have been my first CalCPA Women's Leadership Forum, but it definitely won't be my last! #accounting #CalCPA
