Woman to Watch Award

Anne Kirschling, CPA

Throughout my professional journey, I have been blessed to be surrounded by several individuals who have embodied what a phenomenal mentor is: One who is honest and acts with the utmost integrity; one who actively listens and devotes their time, knowing they can play a part in helping others grow and succeed; one who offers their expertise as they see the value in sharing their knowledge and experiences; and one who can motivate and help someone reach their full potential. These relationships have provided and continue to provide me with support and encouragement throughout my career, both personally and professionally.

So, what does receiving this award mean to me? It means that I have been able to pay it forward by being a mentor to others. I have been able to connect with colleagues and others in this profession to be a valuable resource as they navigate challenges in their lives, both professionally and personally. It is truly an honor and blessing to know that I have been a positive part of others’ journeys. I hope they benefited as much as I have.
