Today I am grateful for advocates . . .

Last week at the Annual Conference for Women in Accounting, our opening keynote speaker, Mary Bennett, spoke about the difference between having mentors and having advocates. She pointed out the fact that nobody achieves success on their own. Many of us have gotten where we are with the help of others who have taken a personal interest in us, whether we were aware of it or not. During my job search, I am learning who my advocates are as I'm getting feedback regarding reference checks. I am really touched that others are doing what they can to help me land my next job. I am truly fortunate.
