February 10, 2021 133 Young and seasoned women across Connecticut are making their mark in leadership and management in the accounting profession, and the Connecticut Society of CPAs (CTCPA) recently honored seven incredible women for their work in private firms, large corporations or non-profit organizations. The virtual event featured keynote address by global technology and finance leader Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, past chairman of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Margaux Farrell, Fox61 Morning News anchor, was the Master of Ceremonies. This is the second year CTCPA has honored female leaders in the profession for their contributions and commitment to an evolving field. “Last year our CTCPA Women awards shined a spotlight on women in accounting. It was such a great success for our entire community, as well as the exceptional women honored. To recognize women for their accomplishments at work, in their communities and at home is really a dream come true for me,” said CTCPA Executive Director Bonnie Stewart, who continues to elevate diversity and inclusion at the 113-year-old membership organization. Each honored woman has navigated her path to success by working hard and staying true to the ethics of the profession.
