In celebration of Women’s History month and the impactful contributions that women have made, we asked our staff to share who they think is making an impact and difference at AMC. We’re thrilled to have so many incredible women leaders in all areas of association management who are instrumental in providing exceptional leadership and service to our association partners and their AMC colleagues. Zinat Ali, operations manager for MCA, is a pillar of knowledge as well as a dedicated leader of AMC's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Advisory Group. Molly Anderson, executive director of NANN, fosters a team culture of appreciation, recognition, and high achievement. Karen Christensen Araujo, director of marketing, is a go-to source for strategy and expertise who makes it possible for great work to happen. Peggy Doherty, director of operations for MCA and membership/operations for CBA, uses her leadership to foster a positive and productive environment in which everyone feels empowered personally and professionally. Leah Farfan, education and learning coordinator for AAHPM, leverages her professionalism and strong attention to detail to build trusted partnerships with faculty and her colleagues alike. Josephine Fazio, operations manager for IEC, draws on her exceptional project management skills to seamlessly manage multiple symposia across the globe each year. Natalia Kot, registration manager, is dedicated and driven, but no matter how busy, she is always willing to lend a hand, share advice, or bring some much-needed positivity to the day. Nicole W., executive director for ABM and RNRF, is a life-long learner, who brings a thoughtful approach to problem-solving, patiently shares her expertise, and empowers those around her to succeed. Molly Anderson, Kelsey Cox, Olivia Diehl, Holly Edwards, Natalie Glaid, Heena Hira, Morgan James, Alyssa Kramer, Christina Miller, Phyllis Milz, Abigail Pendergraph, Julie (Todd) Rogers, Stephanie Spalding, and Stephanie Adams: This team of strong, dedicated, and innovative women are leading all areas of association management, service, and support for NANN and have had a tremendous impact on the organization’s mission, quickly advancing new initiatives and generating fresh ideas. #Kudos and #thankyou to our Women of Impact at AMC! #impact #celebrate #womenleaders #leadership #leaders #associationmanagement #WomensHistoryMonth #expertise #associations #amazingteam
