Women to Watch Awards

The second FICPA Women’s Leadership Summit was held May 20, 2011, in Fort Lauderdale. The Women to Watch Awards were presented at the Summit to four winners.

The Women to Watch Awards were created by the American Institute of CPAs to recognize outstanding women in accounting, and are given in two categories – Emerging Leaders and Experienced Leaders.

Emerging Leaders are women who have made significant contributions to the profession and their communities, but have not yet reached the highest levels of advancement. Recipients in the Emerging Leaders category were:

• Cindy Cruz, CPA, Rooms to Go
• Magda Sanchez-Farren, CPA, Crowe Horwath, LLP

Experienced Leaders are women who have advanced to a higher level or leadership position within her profession. Recipients in the Experienced Leaders category were:

• Deborah Garringer, CPA, Crowe Horwath, LLP
• Laura Krueger-Brock, CPA, CBIZ, Kirkland, Russ, Murphy & Tapp

Emerging Leaders were evaluated on their community service, demonstration of leadership, contribution to the accounting profession, creation and implementation of unique initiatives, and involvement with an alma mater or other local colleges and universities. Experienced Leaders hold leadership positions such as partners, owners, elected officials or appointees, or executives, and were assessed on their authorship of professional articles, major or unique contributions to the profession, community service, and mentoring other professionals.
